While I was gone I was present with a question that I was not sure how to answer.... cholesterol how do you get it? well I don't.... so I wanted to know why I needed cholesterol. Cholesterol is important for the reproductive hormones that women need to ovulate and make babies. WOW, I did not know that. Cholesterol is a wax like substance that is normal for cellular structure and function. The body packages cholesterol in to low-density lipoprotein and high-density lipoprotein.
LDL has higher concentration of fat to protein. LDL is considered the bad cholesterol. LDL is the type of cholesterol that is responsible for promoting heart disease. LDL is also responsible for helping to provide building blocks for cells surface membranes in the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral nerves. So they can adapt to temperature changes. cholesterol also aids in digestion by producing hormones and vitamins.
HDL have a higher concentration of protein to fat. HDL is considered the good cholesterol. HDL scrubs away extra bad cholesterol in order to prevent heart disease.
So with all this said. it sounds to me like we need cholesterol.... my last post I said cholesterol is only derived from animals and we should not eat animals.... I stand by that statement and here is why.
Our bodies need cholesterol so much that our bodies can produce its own cholesterol. The Brain is able to produce the amount of cholesterol the body need to fulfill its needs. Yeah still no meat!
