High density lipoproteins (HDL cholesterol) transports cholesterol away from the arteries and is refered to as good cholesterol. One 3 to 4 oz small glass of red wine per day helps to increase levels of high density lipoproteins. This HDL cholesterol helps to remove some of the low density lipoproteins (LDL cholesterol) from the circulation, which lessens the amount of material available for fatty plaque formation.
