- Diet and CHD
- Carbohydrates, proteins, fats,vitamins, minerals, water and fibre are all essential for a balanced diet.
- Balanced diet: contains all the nutrients required for health in the correct proportions.
- BMI:
- Balanced diet: contains all the nutrients required for health in the correct proportions.
- CHD is the result of fatty deposits in coronary arteries. These deposits are called atherosclerosis.
- These depositions narrow the lumen. This restricts blood flow to the heart muscle, which can cause O2 starvation.

- Cholesterol
- Essential to body functioning normally. Found in cell membranes and skin and is used to make steroid sex hormones and bile.
- Cholesterol must be transported around the body, but is insoluble in water. Therefore, to transport it, it is converted into lipoproteins.
- There are two types of lipoproteins, high-density (H.D.L.0 and low density (L.D.L.)
- These lipoproteins are released into blood and travel to cells with the correct receptor sites.
- Lipoprotein: Mixture of lipid, cholesterol and protein used to transport fats and cholesterol around the body.

- High-Density Lipoproteins
- Combination of unstaurated fats, cholesterol and protein.
- Carry cholesterol from body tissues to liver. These liver cells have receptor sites that allow the H.D.L.s to bond and cell membrane.
- In the liver, cholesterol is then broken down or used in cell metabolism to make bile.
- Carry cholesterol from body tissues to liver. These liver cells have receptor sites that allow the H.D.L.s to bond and cell membrane.
- Combination of unstaurated fats, cholesterol and protein.
- Low-Density Lipoproteins
- Combination of sat. fats, cholesterol and protein.
- Carry cholesterol from liver to tissues. The tissues have receptor sites allowing LDLs to bind.
- Combination of sat. fats, cholesterol and protein.
- Diet and Lipoproteins
- Try to maintain higher proportions of H.D.L.s than L.D.L.s.
- Lots of saturated animal fats will increase conc of LDLs
- Low fat diet will reduce conc of liproproteins.
- Eating a high proportion of unsat. fats will increase conc of H.D.L.s.
- Monounsat fats and polyunsat fats help reduce conc of L.D.L.s in blood
- Essential to body functioning normally. Found in cell membranes and skin and is used to make steroid sex hormones and bile.
- High level of H.D.L.s are associated with reducing cholesterol levels in the blood.
- The reduce depositions in artery walls by atherosclerosis and can even help remove deposits.
- This gives reason for us to suggest unsat. fats are better than sat. fats.
- High-Density Lipoproteins
- Combination of unstaurated fats, cholesterol and protein.
