Take 200 milligrams of cholesterol per deciliter of blood is normal , but if the figure rises to 240 and can be regarded as high. Cholesterol is a waxy substance secreted by the liver to protect the nerves and cell tissues and produce certain hormones.
When this substance is found in their appropriate levels is very healthy for the body but if those are fired , the effect can be very bad for our health.
From a strictly scientific standpoint , there are two types of cholesterol associated with the high-density lipoproteins (HDL, or good cholesterol) and linked to the low density lipoprotein (LDL or bad cholesterol ).
LDL particles distributed cholesterol from the liver to all tissues and, if produced in excess, promote your deposit on the wall of the arteries , which initiates and maintains the arteriosclerosis. This is a thickening of the arteries leading to their obstruction and the onset of cardiovascular disease .
Campaigns to include foods with fiber in the diet of children and young people are relentless , but the success of these messages can barely fifty percent of the targets.
HDL particles , however , remove the excess bad cholesterol from the artery walls , preventing their obstruction, and back to the liver.
A good balance between them depends on the arteries are clean or not.
MILK , EGGS AND MEAT .
In addition to being secreted by the liver , cholesterol can come from the kind of food we eat. Dairy products , eggs and meat are three of the everyday foods that contain higher amounts of cholesterol and, as in these times of moderation in consumption is usually conspicuous by their absence, the rates are rising dangerously high cholesterol , especially youth.
The report of a study conducted between 1999 and 2006 by the Center for Disease Control in Atlanta , Georgia , USA, and published by the journal Annals of Family Medicine , revealed a high cholesterol level in the 7 percent of American young adults with no other risk factor for heart disease, 12 percent among those with other risk factors and 26 percent among those with two or more risk factors .
These data imply that they are increasingly young Americans who may suffer from heart disease in the not too distant future , among other things because they have healthy habits or what they should eat .
Elena Kuklin , an epidemiologist specializing in nutrition and director of research, believes it would be enough to change such alarming figures that young people, and not so young , reconsider their attitude , reducing fat intake and increasing fiber intake , not forgetting practice of daily exercise and eliminate its existence alcohol and snuff .

Fruits and vegetables must be present in all diets sdiarias .
We should not olive on the other hand that dietary fiber is the indigestible portion of plant foods and that their fundamental mission is to help the intestinal transit by absorbing water and preventing the fat is deposited , so it is a weapon more effective against the overweight.
Campaigns to include more fruits , vegetables and other foods with fiber in the diet of children and young people are endless but, as revealed by the recent report of the Group for the Study and positioning of the Spanish Association of Dieticians - Nutritionists (GREP - AEDN ) on the consumption of these products , the success of these messages can barely fifty percent of the targets.
According to the report , food habits are taken at home will be much more educational the whole pedagogy that is used for children and young people aware of the need to eat well, and encourages parents and caregivers to increase the fiber in all its forms, and reduce fat.
AEDN does acknowledge the lack of appetite in children from certain age and remember that to improve these behaviors " serves no purpose tax attitude "and that children eat better in emotionally positive atmospheres .
"Banning certain foods ( like sweets or high-fat products ) causes increase your desire for them . On the contrary , forced to eat other , increases their rejection, " says the report.

Fermented beverages of low alcohol , including beer, are not contraindicated in healthy habits.
But not all people with high cholesterol should dispense altogether with alcoholic beverages, as the fiber contained in its ingredients but not the high alcohol content.
Very recent investigations have shown that moderate consumption of fermented beverages of low alcoholic content as beer, wine, champagne or cider , can prevent the onset of cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases and improve bone density and delay menopause.
Gemma Vilahur , a researcher at the Cardiovascular Research Center of Barcelona , says fermented beverages may exert cardioprotective properties at two levels, through stabilization of the atherosclerotic plaque by increasing high density lipoprotein ( HDL), and through reduction in the risk thrombosis to have a lower tendency to aggregation of platelets, or tromboncitos .
From a nutritional standpoint , fermented beverages containing vitamins , essential amino acids , minerals , fiber and natural antioxidants that come from its ingredients (water , barley and hops) , which makes them a "valuable" addition to a healthy diet as the Mediterranean diet.
Another study has found that eating a high-fiber products such as nuts plant reduces cholesterol and helps fight cardiovascular diseases , especially those with higher cholesterol , are thinner or still an unhealthy diet .
Biomedical Research Center in Red- Physiopathology of Obesity and Nutrition, who has developed his research in collaboration with University of Loma Linda (California ) , noted for the first time that all the nuts work just from the point of view reduction of cholesterol and triglycerides.
The investigation focused on the almonds , hazelnuts and walnuts, and raw skin, which is the best way to take them, and one of the most striking findings is that nuts are not fattening , due their satiating effect .
