ʻO ka ʻatikala i kākau ʻia e Catherine Conan, dietitian

E hoʻoponopono hou ia cholesterol no ka mea, he mea pono ia i ke ola. ʻOiaʻiʻo, ma ka mahele maʻamau, komo ia i ka hana ʻana o nā hunaola o ka lolo, ka puʻuwai, ka ʻili, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, o kekahi mau homone e like me nā homone wahine, i loko o ka synthesi o ka wikamina D e pono ai no ka hoʻopaʻa ʻana o ka kalipuna ma ka iwi. Akā e makaʻala: aia ka cholesterol a me ka cholesterol.

Huina kolesterol i ke koko, i hāpai ʻia e like me lipoprotein, ʻo ia ka hōʻuluʻulu o HDL kolesterol (High Density Lipoprotein) a i ʻole "kolesterol maikaʻi", a LDL kolesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) a i ʻole "cholesterol maikaʻi".

ka Lipoproteins LDL e hōʻoia i ka lawe a me ka hāʻawi ʻana o ka cholesterol i nā hunaola āpau i ke kino. Hoʻonui lākou, hoʻolaha lākou i ka hoʻokumu ʻia ʻana o ka plaque atheromatous (atherosclerosis). No HDL, pōmaikaʻi lākou no ka mea hana lākou i ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe i ka lawe ʻana i ka mālama i ka ʻoi loa o ke kōkō i nā hunaola i ke akepaʻa. ʻO ka Nā lipoproteins HDL no laila pale i ke olakino cardiovascular.

ʻO ka haʻahaʻa loa o kahi pae HDL kolesterol a i ʻole ke kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ka LDL cholesterol pae e hōʻike iā ʻoe i ka maʻi o ke aʻa (= maʻi puʻuwai).
