  The Truth About Cholesterol

  Debunking the Modern Myth

  What Is Cholesterol?

  Cholesterol is a vital nutrient that your liver creates, though you can also get it from food.

  Cholesterol is used throughout your entire body to build and maintain cell walls and membranes. It is also used to create hormones, which regulate your normal body functions. As you can see, cholesterol is very important - so much that you cannot live without it. And because cholesterol function requires lipoproteins, they are also vital.

  Lipoproteins, Like Any Other Vehicle, Need Maintenance

  Cholesterol is also a waxy, fat-like substance. Because of this, it must be "carried" through the bloodstream to get to the parts of your body that need to use it. Lipoproteins, which can vary in size and density, serve as the needed "carriers".

  Lipoproteins can be grouped into three categories:

  • High-Density Lipoproteins (HDL)
  • Low-Density Lipoproteins (LDL)
  • Very Low Density Lipoproteins (VLDL)

  LDL are responsible for bringing cholesterol from the liver to wherever it is needed in the body, while HDL return any excess cholesterol back to the liver for elimination. It's important to remember that whether it's coming or going, the cholesterol itself is exactly the same.

  Why "Good" and "Bad" Cholesterol are False Labels

  Most people only know they must "lower cholesterol". Worse, cholesterol has been given a bad Jekyll and Hyde reputation, or as mainstream media refers to it, "good cholesterol" and "bad cholesterol".

  The truth is there's no such thing as "good" and "bad" cholesterol. Remember that the cholesterol is all the same, and remains vital! Reducing cholesterol too low can be very dangerous, even fatal.

  The "good" and "bad" labels come from the health of your lipoproteins. You may have heard LDL referred to as "bad" and HDL as "good"-- however, you can see that both are quite necessary to cholesterol transport, and in turn, your overall health.

  So how did cholesterol ever get this reputation? Well, aside from mainstream misinformation, the modern American diet and lifestyle tend to promote unhealthy size and ratio of LDL to HDL.

  Remember that lipoproteins can come in many different amounts and sizes. It appears that humans are healthiest with a smaller number of large-sized LDL particles. But today, many people are experiencing the opposite-- that is, small LDL particles in greater amounts.

  When LDL is in this state, health complications begin, and won't stop until you do something about it. However, that begins with true knowledge of what you are dealing with, and now that you know there's no such thing as "bad" cholesterol, you can take the right steps to manage your cholesterol and lipoproteins, and enjoy good health for years to come.

  Maintaining Healthy Cholesterol

  As you can see, even lowering the amount of LDL particles is not the solution. You will still have to deal with the effects of smaller particles that can still cause problems, not to mention the devastating side effects of the chemicals that claim to return you to health.

  Your real return to health will involve making your LDL healthy again, not just "reducing" it. The good news is, you can start today! Try these lifestyle tips and amaze your doctor:

  • Incorporate many of nature's raw, whole medicinal foods into your diet, such as blueberries and garlic. You may also want to take a natural supplement for daily maintenance.
  • Reduce or eliminate toxic foods, like refined sugar, from your diet. This is more difficult than it sounds, for many of these foods taste delicious and you've been eating them for years. However, in that time these same "foods" have been breaking down your body too. Consider with every bite you put into your mouth: Is this helping or hurting me? Share your diet with your family so they can support you and enjoy good health themselves too.
  • Be as active as possible. You don't need a gym membership, but running around with your kids or grandkids, playing basketball in the driveway, hiking a nature trail, and taking the stairs instead of the elevator are just a few ways you can get the many benefits of exercise.
