There is one basic diet rule that keep you in good health. It is the rule that will ensure that your pH (potential hydrogen) remains in the range of 7.35 and 7.5 which is slightly alkaline. If your body is too acidic you do not have enough oxygen available for your body cells to stay healthy. When your body is getting enough minerals from your diet to stay alkaline, your blood can function normally - delivering oxygen to the cells throughout your body, and carrying away acidic waste to be disposed. But if there is a struggle to keep your blood at pH level 7.4 it cannot pick up all of the acidic waste, resulting in health problems. It follows then that at least you'll need to be able to identify acidic foods as against alkaline foods in order to ensure that your system remain alkaline.

High cholesterol level in the blood is as a result of low level of HDL lipoprotein available for the transportation of excesses cholesterol back to the liver, to be recycled. Since HDL is responsible for the transportation of excess cholesterol from the cells and blood system back to the liver, it is important that these are kept in proper balance. Being too few will encourage high blood cholesterol levels and may result in deposits in the blood vessel, being oxidized resulting in a health hazard. Hence the importance of increasing the HDL level.
Lowering the LDL also plays its part in balancing the cholesterol level in the blood system since less cholesterol will be transported to the cells.
