Not all cholesterol are "bad". There are these so-called "good" cholesterol or the high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. Basically, HDL particles are denser compared other types of cholesterol; hence the term high-density.

Experts believe that high levels of HDL can reduce risk of heart disease by picking up excess cholesterol in your blood, and taking it back to the liver where it is broken down and removed from your body. Several interventions that tend to increase the levels of HDL include regular exercise (often a 60-minute moderate intensity aerobics) and proper diet. Avoid foods that are rich in trans fat such as cakes, cookies, and fried foods that tend to increase the level of bad cholesterol or the low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol.

There are good and bad cholesterol. Bad cholesterol is call LDL or what is called Low Density Lipoprotein. Once there is a buildup it can clog in the arteries and we will have problems in easy blood flowing. If the blood cannot flow easily, then it cannot transfer nutrients we get from food and vitamins we intake. It can even be cause of problems in having low oxygen in the body. On the other hand, there is a good cholesterol called HDL, or high Density Lipoprotein. This acts as a push to the cholesterol or LDL to be pushed away from the body to clean the clog in our artery. LDL can cause stroke, brain blockage, chest pain, or even heart attack. We should lover eating foods that has high in cholesterol. We should eat food that creates HDL because it can creates hormones, vitamin D, and digestive fluid that could make our body to function the right way.

Yes and no. Yes, because we have good cholesterol that are good for the body. No, because we have bad cholesterol that is not good for health. As you can see we have two types of cholesterol, the bad cholesterol; LDH(low density lipoprotein) and the good cholesterol; HDL(high density lipoprotein).

The thing is bad cholesterol actually gives the good one bad reputation to the point that the only thing most us remember about cholesterol generally is bad. Some of the harm the bad cholesterol cause to human health are the cloging of the arteries called atherosclerosis which could further lead to stroke, and if not properly managed death.
Furthermore, the good cholesterol is so good that we can't do without it because they are essential for growth as they are major precursors to the synthesis of proteins.

Finally, it's not all cholesterol that is bad to human health, hence I urge you all to eat foods that are rich in cholesterol but with limits.

No, Cholesterol isn't really bad for the body,we all really need some amount of cholesterol in our body.I think a lot of things with bad effects can still be used by our body but the watchword should be moderation.

The  body always need Cholesterol no matter how small it can be  because the body utilizes small amount of cholesterol to build up our body's cell membrane,help to produce vitamin D which the body really needs,aids metabolism to speed up efficiently for easy digestion and help to produce hormones like estrogen,adrenal hormones and even testosterone that are really good for the body.

It has also be confirmed by experts that it help in the formation of our memories which I believe it is the height of its importance. So cholesterol is not totally bad.

Healthy and unhealthy cholesterol both are there . Now, it's on us what we choose .  It is HDL (high-density lipid protein) and LDL(low-density lipid protein).

Bad cholesterol is not good to our body. It can be associated with health conditions that we need to refrain from, such as heart ailments, diabetes mellitus, hypertension, etc.

Cholesterol is not inherently bad for our health. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is found in all the cells in our bodies and is necessary for many bodily functions. Too much cholesterol, however, can be bad for our health, as it can build up in the arteries and form plaques that can lead to heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular problems. Eating a balanced diet and exercising regularly can help to reduce cholesterol levels and protect our health.

Cholesterol is wanted by many people as a health concern because it is a major factor in creating the "cholesterol crisis." The "cholesterol crisis" is a name given to the situation where there is an increase in the risk of heart disease and other chronic diseases because of the increased levels of cholesterol in the blood.

Cholesterol is a naturally occurring substance that is produced by the liver and is found in certain foods. It is an essential component of our body's cell membranes and is also involved in the production of hormones, vitamin D, and bile acids that aid in digestion.

However, high levels of LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, also known as "bad" cholesterol, can lead to the buildup of plaque in the arteries, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. On the other hand, HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, also known as "good" cholesterol, can help remove LDL cholesterol from the bloodstream, reducing the risk of heart disease.

So, it's important to maintain a healthy balance of cholesterol in the body. This can be achieved through a healthy diet, regular exercise, and, in some cases, medication. It's also important to get regular cholesterol screenings to check your levels and talk to your healthcare provider about any concerns you may have about your cholesterol levels

Your body needs cholesterol to build healthy cells, but high levels of cholesterol can increase your risk of heart disease. With high cholesterol, you can develop fatty deposits in your blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits grow, making it difficult for enough blood to flow through your arteries.

Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by the liver and found in certain foods. It plays a vital role in the body by helping to build cell membranes and produce hormones. However, when LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels become too high, it can accumulate in the walls of arteries, leading to atherosclerosis and increasing the risk of heart disease. HDL ("good") cholesterol, on the other hand, helps to remove excess cholesterol from the body.

Cholesterol is not inherently bad for our health. It is an essential molecule needed for various bodily functions. However, high levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, often referred to as "bad cholesterol," can contribute to cardiovascular diseases. It's important to maintain a healthy balance of cholesterol in the body.
