Alcohol And Cholesterol
For the person suffers from high blood cholesterol levels, this can turn out to be a deadly combination, not in the sense that it is very enjoyable but in the sense that it can lead to the birth of very serious diseases and ultimately to the death of a person. Alcohol And Cholesterol go hand in hand when it comes to causing problems for a person suffering from high blood cholesterol. If a cholesterol sufferer uses alcohol, it causes the blood to thicken, which in turn, causes the speed of the blood flow to reduce. This means that the LDL now moves slowly and can easily stick to the surface of an artery, especially the ones that take food and oxygen to the heart. This can cause a blockage and a heart attack may become eminent.  The second type of blood cholesterol is called the HDL or High Density
Lipoprotein, which is considered to be a good fat. It not only is required for the bodily processes such as
the synthesis of protein and hormones but due to its high density, helps in sweeping the arteries and veins of
any LDL that may be present. It is now known that drinking alcohol may help raise the HDL levels and help a
person to get rid of the unwanted LDL. But it has to be remembered that such properties are only possessed by
certain wines and not by all alcoholic beverages.The third type of cholesterol is the triglycerides, which can be called powerful energy providing blocks, due to the fact that they result from a combination of fatty acids and glycerol. Their basic function is to provide the body with energy and help in certain processes as bile production and the upkeep of nails and hair. They too, have the tendency to be deposited anywhere in the body and causes vessel blockages. Alcohol can increase the number of triglycerides and this increases the chance of arterial blockages.
