Did you know that cholesterol is a waxy substance thatโ€™s helpful, especially in building the bodyโ€™s cells.ย Live Strongย 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] gathersย excess cholesterol and takes it to the liver where itโ€™s broken down and removed from the body. So, when discussing cholesterol with a physician, knowing the LDL and HDL levels helps.ย ย Seeย source.

Also helpful are natural ways ofย maintaining healthy cholesterol levels, which can include::

  • A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar daily
  • Consuming polyunsaturated fats like flax seeds, flax seed oil, walnuts and fish
  • Moderation in eating monounsaturated fats like olive, canola and safflower oil
  • Eating soluble fibers [the type that dissolve in water to form a gel-like substance, which includes prunes, kidney beans, carrots, broccoli, oranges and pears
  • Physical, aerobic activity that raises heartbeat and breathing
