Question

The lab report of Ximena's blood lipid profile revealed that her HDL cholesterol was low and her LDL cholesterol levels were high. The doctor asked her to look closely at her diet. He asked her to increase ________ fats and to decrease ________ fats in the diet. Group of answer choices polyunsaturated; monounsaturated monounsaturated; saturated saturated; polyunsaturated saturated; monounsaturated

Answer 1

Answer:

Monounsaturated, Saturated

Explanation:

The lipid profile may be defined as the blood test used to determine the level of the fats and cholesterol in the body. HDL is high density lipoprotein and LDL is low density lipoprotein.

Xiemna's blood report shows that her LDL cholesterol levels were high and HDL cholesterol was low. She should improve her diet and increase the monounsaturated fats to lower the LDL cholestrol level. The HDL cholestrol level can be increased by increasing the monounsaturated fatty acid and decreases the saturated fats.

Thus, the correct answer is option (2).
