Quotes to ponder:

"Cholesterol actually acts as a transporter in the body, the precious cargo in this case: fat."

"Fiber is like HDL’s sidekick, it helps the body get rid of that lousy or lethal LDL cholesterol."

"High intensity activity in particular seems to help increase the happy or healthy HDL levels in the blood."
