Is Cholesterol Harmful to Your Body?
The common belief is that cholesterol is harmful for our body forgetting the fact there are “good” and “bad” cholesterol. Like many other substances produced by the human body, cholesterol is also important in keeping our body fit and healthy. Cholesterol helps the body to produce cell membrane and essential hormones.
High density lipoproteins (HDL) are considered as good cholesterols, since it reduces the risk of heart attack. HDL carries cholesterol from human tissues through blood to liver and it would not harden the arteries. The researchers say that low level of HDL will increase the chance of heart attack. Earlier some researchers found the link between HDL cholesterol and Alzheimer’s.
