What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is actually a lipid or fat produced by the liver, around 1,000 milligrams per day to be exact. In fact cholesterol is vital to our body’s function. One of those functions is the production of sex hormones.
Cholesterol is carried through the bloodstream attached to two different compounds called lipoproteins: low-density lipoproteins (LDL) and high-density lipoproteins (HDL). LDL is commonly known as the “bad cholesterol”; it carries cholesterol from the liver throughout the body, making it available and potentially allowing it to be deposited in artery walls. HDL is known as the “good cholesterol”; it picks up cholesterol from the blood and delivers it to cells that use it, or back to the liver to be recycled or eliminated from the body.
