Raise HDL Cholesterol and Improve Memory


Share

I recently published an article titled How to Raise HDL the Good Cholesterol and I just came across another great reason to boost HDL numbers.

A study published in Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis and Vascular Biology indicates higher HDL levels equal higher scores on memory tests. This was a 5 year study of ~3700 men and women with an average age of 55 to 61 years-old. The memory test included hearing a list of twenty words and then writing down all the words participants could remember within 2 minutes.

No link was found between triglycerides nor total cholesterol and memory performance. Nor was a link identified between HDL and Alzheimer’s.

  1. I’m 32 years old and I have a bad memory for #’s and names. I frankly suppose it is worse than other people’s memories. Sometimes I think I’m missing quite a bit because of memory loss, but I don’t know what I’m missing because I can’t think back. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

  2. Hi, i know how it is to suffer from a problem like this. I have been struggling from it since a few years with the normal ups and downs so i truly know to have a illness like this. At a forum i found out some people were pretty happy about a capsule they got from the net and i ordered it when i found those pills at – herbalhealingstore dot com -. So believe me, those herbals do work, you only have to find the good ones!
