Hyperlipidemia is a medical condition of abnormally high levels of cholesterol and fat in the bloodstream.
High blood cholesterol is the most common cause of hyperlipidemia. According to statistics provided by the CDC, more than 12% of adults age 20 and older are living with high blood cholesterol with a total cholesterol higher than 240 mg/dL. and more than 18% had high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good”) cholesterol levels less than 40 mg/dL.
In other words, hyperlipidemia has a high prevalent ratio that affects over 100 million of American and the condition is increasing at an alarming rate due to overweight and obesity.
Believe it or not, only half of the people with high blood cholesterol benefits from taking the lowering blood cholesterol medicine.
Cholesterol is a waxy substance produced by the liver. In a moderate amount, it helps to improve the gastrointestinal tract in food digestion, builds strong cell membranes, produces vitamin D and steroid hormones.
Cholesterol can either be produced by the liver or consumed form the food sources. There are 2 types of cholesterol
*The high-density lipoprotein is also known as "good" cholesterol processes a function to return cholesterol to the liver.
* The low-density lipoprotein is also known as "bad" cholesterol processed a function aforementioned health benefits in a moderate amount.
In a healthy individual, the bad cholesterol is returned to the liver. However, overexpression of "bad" cholesterol due to the consumption of a high-fat diet and reduced levels of "good" cholesterol can induce an unhealthy ratio of bad and good cholesterol, leading to bad cholesterol remaining in the bloodstream, a cause of hyperlipidemia.

On finding a potent ingredient for the treatment of diseases associated with high blood cholesterol, researchers investigated the potential health benefits of legumes as a good source of dietary fiber.
The study included the comparison of the anti-high blood cholesterol activity of 6 to 10 local legumes as follows: cowpeas, mung beans, pole sitao, chickpeas, green peas, groundnuts, pigeon peas, kidney beans, lima beans, and soybeans.
According to the tested analysis, all tested legumes were found to have a low-GI index.
According to the tested analysis, all tested legumes were found to have a low-GI index.
All legumes showed a cholesterol-lowering effect in human subjects with moderately raised serum cholesterol levels, probably due to the increased levels of the high-density lipoprotein.
However, kidney beans showed significant reductions for both total (6 %) and LDL-cholesterol (9 %), and groundnuts for total cholesterol of 7 %, compared to other legumes
Collectively, researchers said, "legumes are considered low-GI foods and have shown potential hypocholesterolemic effects. The above studies can be a scientific basis for considering legumes as functional foods".
Taken altogether, legumes may be considered functional foods for lowering blood cholesterol, pending to the confirmation of the larger sample size and multicenter human study.
