If you know the tire load rating for your vehicle, you can use our handy load index chart to check out the load carrying capacity of your tires. When you shop for tires and give us your vehicleâs make/model/style information, we show you only the tires that have the proper load rating for that vehicle.
Fiber, especially soluble fiber, can help bump up your HDL while reducing LDL. Oatmeal is an excellent source of soluble fiber, as is rice, bran, barley, dried peas and beans, and certain fruits like prunes and apples. A couple servings a day of these heart-healthy foods can have a positive effect on your HDL.
More HDL is better, but the benefits may depend on how you get there. In the simplest telling of the cholesterol story, HDL (the so-called good cholesterol) fights LDL (bad cholesterol). Like knights in shining armor, HDL particles patrol the blood vessels, snatching cholesterol from circulating LDL particles and from the dangerous, gooey plaque that lines artery walls.
