LDL and HDL levels are just as important as you
blood pressure and blood sugar readings. Many people are surprised to learn that there are actually two kinds of cholesterol

that you handle your cholesterol correctly, it is important to understand the difference between the kind of cholesterol your body

Firstly - the body naturally produces its own cholesterol in order to aid with the important body functions
that were mentioned above. The remainder of the cholesterol comes from the foods we ingest, mainly meats, fish, eggs, butter, cheese and milk. Vegetables and plant products don't produce cholesterol. Foods that contain trans-fats and saturated fats cause the body to produce even more cholesterol.
Cholesterol is much like a fatty substance and therefore can’t dissolve and must be transported to and fro the cells where it is needed by lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein is what is most commonly referred to as bad cholesterol. When your body contains too much LDL cholesterol, a tremendous strain is placed on your heart, making you more susceptible to heart attacks and strokes. High density lipoprotein, on the other hand, is naturally manufactured by the body and works in the body’s defense.
