Unsaturated fatty acids: lowering LDL cholesterol, increasing HDL cholesterol

Soft fats are unsaturated fats that support the well-being of the intestinal mucosa.

Gut bacteria use polyphenols to their advantage, and they can support the diversity of the microbiota.

Atherosclerosis = (arterial) fatty hardening disease, arteriosclerosis, arteriosclerosis | a disease in which fatty deposits accumulate in the inner layer of large and medium-sized arteries, which later form connective tissue and which may calcify, resulting in narrowing of the arteries and hardening of their walls

Cholesterol = e.g. the most common sterol in the human body found in cell membranes, which is e.g. the starting material for the synthesis of bile acids and steroid hormones, which travels in the blood attached to lipoproteins and which is deposited on the walls of blood vessels in atherosclerosis

HDL cholesterol = "good cholesterol"; cholesterol that is part of HDL (high-density lipoprotein) (in blood plasma, serum), a high concentration of which protects against coronary artery disease and generally against atherosclerosis (arteriosclerosis)

LDL cholesterol = "bad cholesterol"; Cholesterol, a component of LDL, whose high concentration in blood serum/plasma is one of the three most important risk factors for coronary artery disease and atherosclerosis in general

Sterol = sterols found in plants, closely resembling cholesterol in molecular structure, which are not absorbed from the human intestine and which also prevent cholesterol from being absorbed
