why bad because it has a habbit of sticking to blood nervers and blocks the blood flow. Sometimes it breaks like paches and flow throught nerves and block the tubes.
Good Cholesterol - HDL
cleans the bad cholesterol.
Cholesterol is needed
cholesterol is needed for the body and is produced by the liver so we dont have to eat cholesterol from outside
chlesterol is needed by the body for
producing harmones
brain cell activity
cell membrane needs cholesterol
Title
Body liver produces enough cholesterol for the body and If we eat more cholesterol from outside then the it sticks in the blood streem walls
cholesterol containing foods are animal products or meat
food that have cholesterol are meat products
1 egg has 210 milligram in the yello part
chicken 100 milligram
skinless chicken 60 milligrams
mutton 65 milligrams
pork and liver about 300 milligrams
lamb kidney 370milligram
lamb brain 2000 milligram - one of the most cholesterol
fish 45 milligrams
fattyfish
dairy products: butter 250 milligram, ghee 300 milligram
milk about 14 milligrams
meegada 40 milligram
cheese 100 milligrams
veggies products foods dont have any cholesterol: almonds nuvulu coconut cashuews are zero cholesterol
Anti Cholesterol (fiber) are of two types
fibers dont exist in meat products
two types of fiber
1)digested fiber
2)undigested fiber
lion - example
eats lot of meat that has lot of cholesterol but we dont hear of heartattach for animals, because their body has the mechanism
but our body is not ready for that much meat
what to do

Mad cow disease - America
America farms more like cows etc for meat and dairy
cows dont eat meat
america wants cows to grow stong muscles so they give harmone injections, and give them meat products as: meat khaima and put coating so it forms a ball which looks like vegge from outside and meat inside
then cows had got many problems with retardation like 2 heads for calf, intestines problems, retardation etc - mad cow disease
America realized that cow is not a meat eating animal so banned the meat food People also are not built for meat product digestion
effects of eat meat /cholesterol
genes get effected and children are born with one one eye, dumb etc
cholesterol causes
heart problem
cholesterol problems
paralysis
stroke
non vegg vs veg food
meat products are bad and have cholesterol anti cholesterol are vegge or plant based foods only
Other Info from sites
Cholesterol is produced in the liver
important component for the manufacture of bile acids, steroid hormones, and vitamin D
Although cholesterol is important and necessary for human health, high levels of cholesterol in the blood have been linked to damage to arteries and cardiovascular disease.
HDL - good cholesterol
HDL cholesterol is the well-behaved "good cholesterol." This friendly scavenger cruises the bloodstream. As it does, it removes harmful bad cholesterol from where it doesn't belong. High HDL levels reduce the risk for heart disease -- but low levels increase the risk.
What Are Good Levels for the HDL Cholesterol?
HDL cholesterol levels greater than 60 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) are high. That's good.
HDL cholesterol levels less than 40 mg/dL are low. That's bad.
What Can I Do if my HDL Cholesterol Level Is Low?
If your HDL is low, you can take several tacks to boost your HDL level and reduce your heart disease risk: Exercise. Aerobic exercise for 30 to 60 minute on most days of the week can help pump up HDL.
Quit smoking .
Keep a healthy weight.
reduce trans fat - stick margarines contain the most, tub margarines less and semi-liquid margarines the least trans fats).
Also, high-fat baked goods (especially doughnuts, cookies, cakes, chips and crackers); most deep-fried foods; and any product that has "partially hydrogenated vegetable oils" contain trans fats.
LDL - bad cholesterol
LDL cholesterol is the bad cholesterol as it collects in the walls of blood vessels, causing the blockages of atherosclerosis. Higher LDL levels put you at greater risk for a heart attack from a sudden blood clot in an artery narrowed by atherosclerosis
what are good levels of LDL
An LDL of less than 100 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) is optimal.
An LDL of 100 to 129 mg/dL or less is near-optimal.
LDL between 130 and 159 is borderline high.
LDL cholesterol of 160 mg/dL or more is high.
An LDL of 190 mg/dL or more is very high.
What You Can Do to Lower LDL Cholesterol
start a diet and exercise plan .
An LDL cholesterol-lowering diet is low in saturated fat (less than 7% of total calories a day) and dietary cholesterol (less than 200 mg a day).
Adding fiber and plant sterols (like cholesterol-lowering margarine) can further lower LDL levels. Regular aerobic exercise lowers LDL cholesterol even further, and increases HDL -- or "good" -- cholesterol too.
conclusion
cholesterol does not dissolve in blood
some cholesterol is good but more taken from food is not good
cholesterol more is carried by LDL, if more cholesterol then more carrier LDL that is not good over a period of time can cause clogged arteries
HDL is a good cholesterol that aids in removing the cholesterol from the body
LDL above 160 is high
HDL low than 40 is too low
cholesterol is found in meat eggs, saturated fats,
Triglicerides
