Managing Cholesterol Traffic in Your Body

Your liver is printing cholesterol right now because your cells would literally collapse without

it. This molecule isn't just a heart-clogger; it is the structural glue holding your

membranes together and the raw material for essential hormones and Vitamin D. Since fat and blood

don't mix, your body uses microscopic Uber cars called lipoproteins to move it around.

LDL drops cholesterol off at your tissues, but if there is too much, it crashes and builds

plaque in your arteries. That is why you need HDL, the cleanup crew that drags excess

cholesterol back to the liver. It is not about eliminating cholesterol, it is just about

managing the traffic.
