What is cholesterol

 

       

 
Cholesterol in the body is also a strange thing. Cholesterol is actually a type of caprotein, called lipoprotein. It is of two types, low density lipoprotein (LDL) and high density lipoprotein (HDL). There is a thing called good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. Good cholesterol is called HDL and bad is called LDL.      

 

 

 

The good thing is to strengthen the body's cells and stop the attacks of LDL, while the bad thing is to always try not to do anything.
HDL cholesterol has long been considered an important component of the body's cell and cell system. But according to a recent study in Japan, 'good cholesterol' can also lead to heart disease, but only in this case. When HDL is too high in the body.

        

 

In this regard, 43,000 people, aged 40 to 89, were made part of a 12-year study. The research found that people with HDL cholesterol levels above 90mg / dl had heart disease. People with an HDL level between 40 and 59 mg / dl are 2.4 times more likely to die from HIV.
The amount of cholesterol in the body of a normal person is about 100 grams or a little more.

Cholesterol is formed and accumulated in the body. Adequate amount of it is necessary for the production of essential hormones in the body and to help the digestive system. Cholesterol is important in a variety of foods such as meat, eggs, milk, butter and ghee. There is quantity, eating the same kind of food raises the amount of cholesterol in the blood. When the amount of cholesterol in the blood exceeds the limit, then it can accumulate in the blood vessels inside the blood vessels and form layers of fat, obstructing the normal or standard flow of blood and can cause a heart attack, which can lead to immediate. Death can also occur.
