Good cholesterol or HDL (high density lipoprotein) is one component of fat contained in the body. Its function is to dissolve the bad fats so as not to trigger a clot and blockage in the blood stream.
Here are some of the breakfast menu which can increase good cholesterol in the blood, as reported by the LIVESTRONG :
1. Eggs
Many people who avoid eggs because they can increase cholesterol and the risk of heart disease. But the relationship between eggs and heart disease risk is unclear, according to Harvard University Medical School report.
Even the results of studies from the University of Connecticut that has been published in The Journal of Nutrition in 2008 showed that people who eat three eggs every day can increase HDL levels by about 20 percent.
2. Yogurt
Yogurt is rich in essential nutrients like calcium, protein, magnesium, riboflavin and thiamine. Yogurt is perfect for people who need a healthy breakfast on the go.
A study published in the Nigerian Journal of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology in 2008 showed that the consumption of 170 milliliters of yoghurt per day can increase HDL levels significantly in a group of adult males over a period of 6 months.
The authors note that the probiotics in yogurt can alter the metabolism of cholesterol to HDL cholesterol increase production.
3. Oatmeal walnut (walnut)
Oatmeal is a heart-healthy breakfast choice because it helps reduce bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein or LDL) or without affecting HDL.
Adding walnuts chopped or diced into a bowl of oatmeal can help lower LDL and raise HDL. According to a study report has been published in Diabetes Care, walnuts are a source of monounsaturated fats are healthy and affect HDL cholesterol levels.
