Cholesterol
and
Your
Health
W
e hear of the word ‘Cholesterol’ and
very often think of it as something
harmful to the human body in gen-
eral, primarily because of its sinister associa-
tion with several debilitating cardiovascular
diseases.
However, this isn’t exactly so, to be honest,
Cholesterol is essential for our bodies to work –
it is vital to ensure the body’s normal function.
For starters, Cholesterol is a natural substance
found in foods. It can also be created by our
bodies (in the liver or intestines) and moves in
form of a waxy steroid of fat (see below.)
