Description:
Cholesterol - a waxy compound that some have likened to soft candle wax - is a kind of sterol. Sterols are a type of
fat found in the tissues of both plants and animals, although only animals have varying amounts of cholesterol.
Although your body manufactures much of the cholesterol it needs in the liver, you can also obtain it through your
diet. Animal products - such as chicken, beef, eggs or dairy products - are examples of foods that contain
cholesterol.
Benifit:
1.Perhaps the most important of these is its role in forming and maintaining cell membranes and structures.
Cholesterol can insert between fat molecules making up the cell, making the membrane more fluid. Cells also need
cholesterol to help them adjust to changes in temperature.
2.Cholesterol is essential for making a number of critical hormones, including the stress hormone, cortisol.
Cholesterol is also used to make the sex hormones testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen.
3.The liver also uses cholesterol to make bile, a fluid that plays a vital role in the processing and digestion of fats.
4.Cholesterol is used by nerve cells for insulation.
Your body also needs cholesterol to make vitamin D. In the presence of sunlight, cholesterol is converted into
vitamin D.
