WHAT IS CHOLESTEROL?

Cholesterol is a type of fat made in the liver and found in animal foods.

CHOLESTEROL IS NEEDED FOR IMPORTANT BODY FUNCTIONS. Such as... Building cell walls Protecting nerves Making hormones.

THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF CHOLESTEROL. THE GOOD. (HDL or High Density Lipid) THE BAD and the UGLY!! (LDL or Low Density Lipid.)

A higher level of HDL is needed to carry LDL from the BLOOD back to the LIVER to be ELIMINATED from the body.

If there is a higher level of LDL cholesterol in the BLOOD this may: Cause high blood pressure! Raise your risk of heart attack! Raise your risk of stroke! Cause the kidneys to fail!

HOW ??

Cholesterol is broken down into LDL which is needed by the body cells Cholesterol is broken down into LDL which is needed by the body cells. Once the cells are satisfied the unused LDL remains to become what is known as blood cholesterol.

The main danger of high blood cholesterol is that fatty plaques may form which will decrease the diameter of blood vessels. This leads to a restriction of the flow of blood and oxygen to the tissues of the body.

If an artery supplying blood to the HEART becomes blocked you may have a heart attack! If an artery supplying blood to the BRAIN becomes blocked you may have a Stroke! If an artery supplying blood to the kidney becomes blocked you may suffer kidney failure.
