What is it?
what are the sources of cholesterol?
what is the meaning of L.D.L and H.D.L?
what does cholesterol do to the circulatory system?
how can we reduce cholesterol in our body?
Answer:
Cholesterol is transported around the body in the blood attached to a protein. This combination of fat and protein is called a lipoprotein. Lipoproteins can be high density (HDL), low density (LDL) or very low density (VLDL), depending on how much protein there is in relation to fat.
Lots more info on below link.
who cares...chill out and have a drink...we shall all be dead tomorrow in any event.
LDL is low density lipoproteins, bad chol.
HDL is high density lipoproteins, good chol.
A good way to tell the difference is to remember HDL is the good cholestorol (H for happy)
i dunno the answer to all of thoes ?'s but my dad has high cholestrol and he has these gray rings around his eyes.Its bad for u watch out
Research it yourself on the web or do your own homework.
Eat only when hungry and not more than thrice a day. Nothing other than water in between. Include plenty of uncooked vegetables and fruits in each meal, preferably 50%. Chew each morsel at least 32 times to activate ur body to generate signals of hunger/fullness. Obey these signals.
Take light exercises and brisk walks regularly preferably twice a day.
U will achieve what u have not even dreamt and that too in a reasonable time. Do not be in a hurry.
Cholesterol is a sterol, a type of fat, found in the cell membranes of all body tissues, and is transported in the blood plasma of all animals. Trace amounts of cholesterol are also found in plant membranes.
The name originates from the Greek chole- (bile) and stereos (solid), and the chemical suffix -ol for an alcohol, as researchers first identified cholesterol in solid form in gallstones in 1784.
Most of the cholesterol is synthesized by the body and some has dietary origin. Cholesterol is more abundant in tissues which either synthesize more or have more abundant densely-packed membranes, for example, the liver, spinal cord, brain, and atheromata (arterial plaques). Cholesterol plays a central role in many biochemical processes, but is best known for the association of cardiovascular disease with various lipoprotein cholesterol transport patterns and high levels of cholesterol in the blood.
Cholesterol is insoluble in blood, but is transported in the circulatory system bound to one of the varieties of lipoprotein, spherical particles which have an exterior composed mainly of water-soluble proteins.
In recent years, the term "bad cholesterol" has been used to refer to cholesterol contained in LDL (low-density lipoprotein) which, according to the lipid hypothesis, is thought to have harmful actions, and "good cholesterol" to refer to cholesterol contained in HDL (high-density lipoprotein), thought to have beneficial actions.
