Abstract :

Nowadays people realise that cholesterol is not good for human health. Increased blood cholesterol leads to blockage in the blood vessels of heart and ain. Too much of blockage can lead to heart attack or stroke. Human body produces the cholesterol needed to function properly, also this comes from the diet. Eating too much of foods that are high in cholesterol, saturated fats, and trans unsaturated fats (trans fats) or having an inherited predisposition can result in a high level of cholesterol in the blood. Studies show (Kuklina et al.,2009 )that a large proportion of adults with high levels of bad cholesterol (low–density lipoprotein cholesterol LDL–C) remain untreated or undertreated despite growing use of lipidlowering medications. Selection of low cholesterol foods in diet can prove to be helpful for the better health.
