Cholesterol: Friend Or Foe?
C
Cholesterol - Why We Need It Cholesterol is an essential nutrient, as essential to life as water or air. Cholesterol is actually not a fat, it is a hard waxy substance produced by the liver. It performs many vital functions in the human body. It is very protective of the blood vessels, forming as a result of inflammation, to patch and repair the vessel wall. It appears that many people are still under the false impression that cholesterol is not good for them. In fact, “Cholesterol is a fat-soluble steroid from which all of the steroid hormones are made. Cholesterol is also very important to brain function, being a component of the myelin sheath that protects nerves and nerve impulse propagation. Your hormone balance and your brain function suffer when cholesterol is excessively low,” says John R. Lee. An important function is that it acts as a catalyst for the synthesis of important hormones such as sex hormones and adrenal hormones (cortisone). Recently, an important brain protective chemical was identified that is associated with a dramatic slowing or decline in Parkinson’s patients. This novel chemical has been shown to provide aggressive brain antioxidant protection, helping to reduce the damaging effects of villainous toxins called free radicals. What’s more, it has been discovered that this brain protective substance (cholesterol) actually serves as the precursor for such brain supportive chemicals as vitamin D, estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone. Yes, the very same cholesterol that has been demonized for decades as the cause of everything from heart attacks to who-knowswhat is actually one of the most important players in brain health. Cardiovascular health is a major challenge. The cardiovascular
system sustains life by providing nutrients and oxygen to all tissues, and its proper function is essential for survival. This includes maintaining normal levels of blood cholesterol, a vital component of cell membranes. Triglycerides from fat tissue and blood glucose provide fuel for energy, and the cardiovascular system transports these. Blood pressure within a certain range allows for proper functioning of the system vessels, heart and other organs and this is also regulated by the heart and cardiovascular network.
