And we don't fully understand the exact mechanisms of how this happens.
But what we do know is that diets that are higher in saturated fats tend to increase both your total amount of cholesterol and specifically your LDL cholesterol levels.
but not your HDL cholesterol levels.
Your body maintains a fairly consistent ability to produce HDL.
And so HDL is independent of LDL levels.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah, they're not directly connected.
There are things that you can do that will sort of shift their proportions, right?
Increasing physical activity is actually one of those that ends up increasing the amount of HDL and lowering the amount of LDL.
But there are lots of other things that might just affect one versus the other.
HDL is one of the harder ones because it's just really, we don't fully understand like how do we, we know that having higher levels of HDL is protective against heart disease.
Right.
