High levels of HDL(high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol appear to reduce the risk of atherosclerosis, or cholesterol-clogged arteries.
About LDL and HDL:
Due to its role in the development of fatty deposits in arteries, LDL cholesterol is referred to as the "bad" cholesterol (atherosclerosis). As a result, the risk of heart attack, stroke, and peripheral arterial disease is increased by the narrowing of the arteries (PAD).
Because a healthy amount of HDL cholesterol may prevent heart attack and stroke, it is sometimes referred to as the "good" cholesterol.
LDL (bad) cholesterol is transported by HDL from the arteries back to the liver, where it is digested and eliminated from the body. However, LDL cholesterol is still there even when HDL cholesterol is present. HDL can only carry between one-third and one-fourth of blood cholesterol.
