Kick Controlling Cholesterol

• Be careful with cholesterol. So often we hear the warning. Presumably, people often mistakenly thought to cholesterol. Cholesterol is only regarded as an evil substance causes heart disease and stroke. Cholesterol is a type of material that looks almost identical to fat. If most of the food fat is triglycerides, the cholesterol is the rest. Triglycerides itself is a bond between the glycerol with three fatty acids.
• In the body, dietary fat intake was taken to the liver (liver) to be converted into cholesterol. Similarly, the cholesterol from food. Because it is still in the form of fat, cholesterol does not dissolve in the liquid blood. For soluble and easily distributed throughout the body, cholesterol also create a bond with proteins and form a lipoprotein.
• Lipoprotein is then circulated throughout the body. Because it is still full of cholesterol, the lipoprotein binding her little protein, so that its density is low (low density lipoprotein / LDL). Arriving at the cell body, cholesterol is used to build cell walls, so that reduced cholesterol content. This makes the protein is relatively dominant, so that its density lipoprotein also increased (high density lipoprotein / HDL).
• On the way to leave the liver leading to all body tissues, the charge of excessive LDL cholesterol in very easily scattered along the blood vessels. As a result, there was a narrowing of the arteries (atherosclerosis), which can increase the risk of stroke and heart attack. Because of that, then known as LDL ‘bad cholesterol‘.
