================== ARTICLE START ==================
In order to understand why it is important to lower
cholesterol, it is necessary to first understand what
cholesterol is. Cholesterol is a fatlike waxy substance and is
produced by the liver. Although cholesterol has purposes and is
important to overall health and body function, too much
cholesterol in the body has damaging effects.

Cholesterol forms every cell within the body. When the
cholesterol level is appropriate, it plays a life-giving role
in many functions of the body. When cholesterol is at a good
level it works to build and repair cells, produces hormones
such as estrogen and testosterone, and produces bile acids
which are proven to aid in the digestion of fat.

With too much cholesterol in the body, though, the levels build
up and cause damage by clogging your arteries. This puts you at
serious risk for disease such as heart and stroke. In fact, the
major cause behind heart attacks and strokes is clogged arteries
resulting from high levels of cholesterol.

When you eat saturated foods such as dairy, meat and eggs your
cholesterol elevates. On the other hand when you eat foods such
as fruits, vegetables, and grains you can maintain optimal
health as they do not contain cholesterol.

High cholesterol can be avoided! With a nutritious diet, the
50% of all adult Americans with high cholesterol can regain
their health and lower their risk of disease by 2%. This is
done simply from reducing cholesterol by 1%.

Cholesterol can be managed for life with success! It is
recommended that you visit your physician on a regular basis to
keep a keen eye on your levels.
