What causes high cholesterol?<!--more--><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.befittoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/cholesterol-facts.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-84\" src=\"http:\/\/www.befittoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/cholesterol-facts.jpg\" alt=\"cholesterol facts\" width=\"371\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.befittoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/cholesterol-facts-300x244.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.befittoo.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/10\/cholesterol-facts-48x39.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 371px) 100vw, 371px\" \/><\/a>What is Cholesterol?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Cholesterol is a chemical compound that is naturally produced by the body (predominantly in the liver) and is structurally a combination of lipid (fat) and steroid. It also comes from dietary intake, primarily from animal sources, like dairy products, eggs, and meat. Cholesterol exists in the outer layer of every cell in our body and has many functions. The body needs cholesterol to function properly. It is required to establish proper membrane permeability and fluidity, produce hormones, vitamin D, and the bile acids. But when it comes in excessive amount, serious health problems may develop.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bad and Good Cholesterol<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>To understand the good and bad side of cholesterol, we need to know that there are several types of cholesterol. Cholesterol travels through the blood attached to a protein &#8212; this cholesterol-protein package is called a lipoprotein.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><em>Low density lipoproteins (LDL)<\/em><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> LDL is known as &#8220;bad&#8221; cholesterol. It can cause buildup of plaque on the walls of arteries. This type of cholesterol is associated with the increased risk of heart disease.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>High density lipoproteins (HDL)<\/em><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong> HDL, also known as &#8220;good&#8221; cholesterol, can prevent atherosclerosis by extracting cholesterol from artery walls and disposing of them through liver metabolism. Thus, high levels of HDL can be seen as a good indicator of a healthy heart.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Very low density lipoproteins (VLDL).<\/em><\/strong> VLDL is similar to LDL cholesterol in that it contains mostly fat and not much protein. It is also associated with atherosclerosis and heart disease.<\/li>\n<li><strong><em>Triglycerides.<\/em><\/strong> Triglycerides are another type of fat that is carried in the blood by very low density lipoproteins. Excess calories, alcohol, or sugar in the body are converted into triglycerides and stored in fat cells throughout the body.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\" itemprop=\"text\">\n<p>Nowadays, cholesterol has become a major health issue.
