4. What is Cholesterol Cholesterol is a white waxy substance which is bad for us. But or so essential for life. Without cholesterol our bodies could not make a big enough number of important hormones for our bodies and it also forms the outer membrane of some cells. The liver actually manufactures about 70% to 80% of it. while the rest comes from the food we eat.

5. What causes the problems The liver makes all the cholesterol we need. If we get too much circulating in our blood, it tends to get stuck in the hearts arteries narrowing the vessels and making their walls harder, and increasing the risk of heart disease or heart attack While a high saturated fat diet is the usual cause of a high blood cholesterol level, some people have a high level because of an inherited like jaxson for example. A high cholesterol level may also result in liver damage because of alcohol abuse.

6. What's good and bad cholesterol Cholesterol, like fat, it cannot move around the bloodstream on its own because it does not mix with water and blood, the main ingredient of this is blood. So it hitches a ride with carriers called lipoproteins, there are several types; the main ones are low density lipoprotein (good cholesterol) and high density lipoprotein (high cholesterol).

7. What foods you should avoid The more saturated fats you eat you'll end up with too much cholesterol in your blood. Saturated fat is found mainly in animal foods, whereas plant foods – fruits, vegetables, grains and nuts – contain no cholesterol. grape fruit and its juices are the worsted food you can have if on the cholesterol or its pills cause it just puts you back to where you started.
