Cholesterol is a type of fat that is produced
by our liver cells. It is used in our body for
hormone production, keeping the cell wall
flexible, and synthesizing vitamin D and bile
juice. There are two types of cholesterol
present in the body- good cholesterol or
high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and bad
cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL).
Good cholesterol reduces the risk of any
heart diseases and bad cholesterol makes
you lethargic. The optimal cholesterol level
should be below 200mg/however, you can
bring down your cholesterol level to normal
