cholesterol

Cholesterol is an essential part of every cell structure and is needed for proper brain and nerve function. Cholesterol is manufactured in the liver and transported through the bloodstream to the sites where it is needed. It is a fatty substance and, because blood is mainly water, it has to latch on molecules called lipoproteins to travel around successfully. Low density lipoproteins (LDLs) are the major transporters of cholesterol in the bloodstream and because LDLs encourage the deposit of cholesterol in the arteries it is known as “bad cholesterol”. High density lipoproteins (HDLs) on the other hand are considered to be “good cholesterol” because they carry unneeded cholesterol away from the cells and back to the liver, where it is broken down for removal from the body. If everything is functioning as it should, this system remains in balance. Sometimes there is too much cholesterol for the HDLs to pick up promptly, or if there are not enough HDLs to do the job, cholesterol can form plaque that sticks to artery walls and may cause heart disease.
