clipped from yourheartyourlife.com Studies have shown that indeed, high levels of cholesterol lead to a heart disease. On a safe level, cholesterol is important for organs such as liver to function properly. It is a fat-like substance which also helps to maintain the cellular structures on the body and is highly capable of transmitting the nerve impulses. It is vital to remember there cholesterol is only useful when there is an exact level of it and too much, causes problems. Lipoproteins - a medical term for tiny clumps of fat and protein- travels around the body. There are two kinds of Lipoproteins, HDL (the good cholesterol) and LDL (the bad cholesterol). The LDL is the one that carries cholesterol where it is needed, and the HDL is the one that carries leftover cholesterol back to the liver. Thus shows that cholesterol and heart disease are linked together. To prevent all of this, people are advised to lower their cholesterol level. This is easily done by taking up a healthy diet and maintains a healthy weight.
