High levels of LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream can lead to formation of "plaques" in the arteries. _________________________________ Facilitator

• What are the potential health consequences of coronary arteries being clogged by "plaques"?
• Name some specific foods that might lead to increased LDL cholesterol in the bloodstream.
• What do these foods contain that could cause this?

The development of plaques within the arteries shortens ones lumen down, thereby restricting blood supply and demanding further effort from the heart. The plaque could fully obstruct the arterial path if left unchecked, blocking the blood circulation to that portion of the brain where even the artery goes. There seems to be a condition that is life-threatening.
When there has been a abundance of fats, cholesterol, calcium and several other substances throughout the body, plaque becomes produced. This same coronary artery fills every heart to pump blood. The blood supply to something like the cardiac muscles would be suppressed as well as the cardiac muscles wouldn't get adequate oxygen whether there is plaque forming within this artery. This should lead to heart disease that can cause damage again for human.

These are some of the five main lipid classes is LDL, or low-density lipoprotein. It is deemed undesirable although it contributes to cholesterol build-up throughout the arteries.
In animal products like poultry, including bacon, fatty acids are often included. Other types of animal fats include milk as well as dairy products, including such butter, etc. Farm products such as almond and almond oil, palm as well as palms kernel oil, chips as well as other unhealthy fats are therefore high in saturated fats as well as improve LDL levity throughout blood.

(c)

There are a variety of saturated unhealthy fats elsewhere in this-mentioned food products that increase the amount of LDL throughout the blood.
