The great thing about incorporating the bench press into your workouts is that you will develop upper body strength, power, and massive amounts of muscle on your chest and triceps. But, with most good things, if you do them too much or the wrong way, the outcome that you are hoping for, will not be what you get.
HDL (Good) Cholesterol. HDL cholesterol is considered âgoodâ cholesterol because it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries. Experts believe HDL acts as a scavenger, carrying LDL cholesterol away from the arteries and back to the liver, where it is broken down and passed from the body.DL cholesterol is considered the âbadâ cholesterol because it contributes to plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can clog arteries and make them less flexible. This condition is known as atherosclerosis. If a clot forms and blocks a narrowed artery, heart attack or stroke can result.
Not all cholesterol is bad for the body. There are two types of cholesterol-HDL (High Density Lipoprotein or good cholesterol) and LDL (Low Density Lipoprotein or bad cholesterol).While LDL causes blockage in arteries, HDL helps transport triglycerides to the liver for excretion.ecommended level of good cholesterol is 1.55 mmol/L and above. The recommended level of LDL (bad cholesterol) is 2.6 mmol/L or lower. Sources. Sources of HDL include onions and Omega-3 fatty acids like flax oil, fish, foods rich in fibre like grains, oats, bran etc.
