How Cholesterol Affects Your Heart
The heart works hard to pump that blood throughout the entire body
of blood vessels. It is forced to work even harder when we don’t
take care of it. You may know something about cholesterol, but keep
reading to find out how it can be unfriendly to your heart.
Cholesterol
Cholesterol is a waxy-type of fat found in the body. It is produced
in the liver mainly, but also in the reproductive organs and the
adrenal glands. It is transported through the body as lipoproteins
in the blood to sites where it is needed.
Cholesterol is not all bad. It does have a function inside your
body, in the right amounts. Cholesterol helps with the integrity of
cellular membranes. Because it is insoluble in water (for the most
part) it can control what substances go into and out of the cell.
Cholesterol is an integral part of many hormones – estrogen and
testosterone are just two of them. These sex hormones are important
during puberty and beyond for proper development and reproduction.
So, don’t doom this naturally occurring substance too soon.
