Cholesterol is usually thought of as a poison and is to be avoided. Here are several cholesterol facts. One - The sheath nerve endings from the top of your head down to the bottom of your spine are wrapped in cholesterol. Two - Cholesterol is so vital to our bodies that without it we would die instantly. Our body ensures this won't happen by producing it's own. Three - There is no such thing as bad cholesterol or good cholesterol. The chemical formula for cholesterol is C27H46O...there is no bad version or good version of this formula.
Four - HDL and LDL are not types of cholesterol, let alone good or bad. They are two of five different types of lipoproteins. HDL-high density lipoprotein...LDL-low density lipoprotein. Lipoproteins help to move cholesterol throughout the body to perform its vital functions. Five - Cholesterol helps to reduce bloating by regulating the bodies salt and water content. Six - Cholesterol is crucial to proper neurological function and helps in the formation of your memories. People with low HDL (remember, this helps move cholesterol throughout the body) may have impaired memory and are at risk of dementia later in life. Seven - It is common for cholesterol levels to elevate as we age, usually due to healing damaged cells. What's important is to look for the cause of the inflammation, like sugars, grains, vegetable oils in the diet.
