What is
Cholesterol?
Cholesterol
is an important part of cell membranes and is important to the
structure and function of all of your body's cells. Liver makes about
80% of the cholesterol for your body. Animal products are the source
for the rest of the 20% of cholesterol of the body.
First
let get familiar with some widely used scientific terms. Cholesterol
can either be good or cholesterol or bad cholesterol depending upon its
usage and effects. Now, cholesterol is transferred in the body along
with a protein. This cholesterol-protein package is called Lipoprotein.
Good cholesterol is basically high-density lipoprotein(HDL) cholesterol
which cleans up low density lipoprotein (LDL) from blood vessels. LDL
is referred to as bad cholesterol as it combines with other substances
to form plaques in blood vessels which are responsible for blockage in
the blood vessels.
High amount of Cholesterol in
your blood vessels shoots up your risk of cardiovascular disease. When
the level of this waxy, fatty substance and triglycerides(blood fat)
increases considerable, you get more likely to develop plaques in your
blood vessels which furthers narrows the arteries slowly and gradually.
Hence you are at larger risk to various heart-related diseases.
