Fatty fish, chicken breast, turkey, beets and potatoes increase the level of “good cholesterol” in the blood. This was stated by Avinash Hari Narayanan, clinical director of the London Medical Laboratory, a network of companies providing medical services in the United Kingdom. Suggestions published On the London Medical Laboratory website.
Narayanan explained that “good cholesterol” is carried in the bloodstream by high-density lipoprotein (HDL). They carry cholesterol unused by the body to the liver, where it is converted into bile acids. “Bad cholesterol” is carried by low-density lipoproteins (LDL), which can form atherosclerotic plaques that narrow the lumen of blood vessels. This increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
According to Narayanan, fatty fish, chicken breast and turkey, which are rich in niacin, can increase LDL levels in the blood. Niacin is also known as vitamin B3. Also, products containing many antioxidants (substances that protect cells from damage during the oxidation process) can cope with this task. These include beets, purple cabbage, kale and spinach.
Another beneficial product that helps improve your blood lipid profile is french fries. It contains no fat or cholesterol and is low in sodium. The most beneficial cooking method is frying in vegetable oil such as olive oil. Potatoes are rich in antioxidants and vitamins B and C, which are necessary for the normal functioning of the body.
