I found out that calamari has high cholesterol, not through cooking method, naturally in the flesh. Is this good cholesterol or bads cholesterol?
High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) Cholesterol is known as good cholesterol. It helps transport excess cholesterol out to the liver to be excreted by the body. It is also believed that HDL cholesterol can scrape away some of the built up cholesterol from the arteries to bring to the liver for processing as well. Low levels of HDL cholesterol (<35-40mg/DL) can put a person at risk for cardiac disease. HDL cholesterol can be raised by increasing levels of exercise. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Cholesterol is known as bad cholesterol. This comes mainly from foods consumed, and stores in the walls of arteries, causing plaque, and putting a person at risk for heart disease. Saturated fats and trans-fatty acids are especially prone to raising LDL cholesterol. Soluble fiber, found in fruits, oats, barley, and legumes can help to lower LDL cholesterol. Calamari is high in LDL (bad) Cholesterol. If you exercise and eat healthfully, occasional calamari shouldn't be a problem. You should discuss you
