[QUOTE="BigTex, post: 240120, member: 43589"] Here is a piece of a speech I gave at a local county facility for retired folks. [B]Fibrates[/B] are a class of medication that lowers blood triglyceride levels in particular, small dense particle (LDL -B). Statins have little effect on particle size when tested in patients with the small dense LDL phenotype. The following generic formulation medications are commonly given which have been shown to reduce LDL-B and increase LDL-A: [B]Gemfibrozil[/B] - Lopid [B]Fenofibrate[/B] - Antara, Triglide, Fibricor, Lipofen, Trilipix, and Fenoglide [B]Bezafibrate Ciprofibrate Diet Strategies[/B] Strict low-fat diets (less than 20% of calories from fat) lower HDL and push LDL to the undesirable smaller size (LDL-B). Try adding dietary sources of plentiful monounsaturated fatty acids (especially raw nuts, flaxseed products, and olive and canola oils), eating unprocessed foods with a low glycemic index, and increasing lean protein intake. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish oil have a modest effect in raising total HDL and increasing large particles (LDL-A). Ketogenic diets have also been show to help. [B]The Ketogenic Diet:[/B] [LIST] [*]Increases LDL particle size to the less oxidation-prone state - a shift to LDL-A [*]It increases the amount of HDL available to recycle LDL from the blood before it has a chance to become oxidized [*]It improves the LDL to HDL ratio [*]Lowers triglycerides and improves triglyceride to HDL ratio [/LIST] [INDENT]* Dietary carbohydrates increase levels of small, dense LDL cholesterol (LDL-B).[/INDENT] [INDENT]* Dietary saturated fat increases levels of both HDL cholesterol (which is inversely correlated with cardiovascular disease) and large buoyant LDL cholesterol (LDL-A).[/INDENT] [INDENT][/INDENT] [B]Include Coconut Oil[/B] Coconut oil contains a high amount of saturated fats called medium chain triglycerides (MCT). Your cells burn MCTs for energy while storing very little as fat, boosting your metabolism and supporting your immune system. While eating more MTC’s will cause your cholesterol levels to rise, it is not considered to be a negative thing and will not increase our chance of cardiac problems. Researchers found that the saturated fat from coconuts does not negatively impact the cholesterol profile. Instead, the coconut oil’s overall effect raised HDL while lowering triglycerides and small LDL cholesterol particles (LDL-B), which is definitely a good thing. [/QUOTE]
