That can actually plaque up on the walls of your arteries and eventually cause heart disease by a decrease in the blood and oxygen flow that your body’s ability to produce.
But the HDL is on the other hand having a higher number in HDL is better so we want a higher number of HDL cholesterol and lower number when it comes to LDL cholesterol because That HDL those high-density lipoproteins actually pull that bad cholesterol LDL cholesterol out of the bloodstream.
