Cholesterol is one of the most important substances in our body.
Many people don’t realize that our body produces cholesterol and the rest of the intake is through food.
Our brain cells are 70% cholesterol so medicines to lower your cholesterol level prevents the brain to make brain cells.
The result can be dementia and what we see is an enormous increase in dementia patients.
Cholesterol is needed to produce new cells in our body.
Daily 60 billion of the 63 trillion cells die and the same number is newly formed.
The cell membrane needs cholesterol so by lowering this we cannot function optimally.
Another important role cholesterol plays is that hormones are made with cholesterol as a precursor.
To produce Vitamin D cholesterol is also needed.
So as we can see we do more bad than good by lowering cholesterol in our body.
Other processes where cholesterol plays a crucial role, are transport from and to the liver of “ building material and waist “ when repairing tissue in our body.
By consuming the wrong food we cause damage and unnecessary repair in our blood vessels and tissue.
So we are told that cholesterol clot in our blood vessels but the truth is that if we would not consume so much junk our arteries would stay cleaner and we would not need so much cholesterol to repair the damage.
