What is Cholesterol?

You’ve probably heard a lot about cholesterol and how it can harm your health. High cholesterol can lead to heart disease, stroke, and other serious health problems. But what you may not know is that cholesterol isn’t all bad. In fact, cholesterol is essential for our bodies to function correctly. Here’s a closer look at the good and bad of cholesterol.

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in our bodies. It is mainly produced in the liver but can also be found in some foods we eat. There are two types of cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). LDL is often called “bad” cholesterol because it can build up in the arteries and form plaque. This can lead to heart disease. HDL is often called “good” cholesterol because it helps remove LDL from the arteries and prevents plaque from forming.
