Did you know that cholesterol is a waxy substance that’s helpful, especially in building the body’s cells. Live Strong reports that cholesterol also produces hormones like estrogen and testosterone. It creates bile acids that help digestion, and is so important that the liver makes all the cholesterol the body needs.
Too much LDL [Low-density Lipoprotein Cholesterol] can clogs blood vessels and lead to heart attacks and strokes. HDL [High-density lipoprotein Cholesterol] gathers excess cholesterol and takes it to the liver where it’s broken down and removed from the body.
