One out of two infarcts is the result of various disorders related to the presence of cholesterol in the blood. It is estimated that 20% of the adult population has a high rate compared to the latter. The spread of overweight can not be denied as one in two French would be overweight. Here is a natural recipe for remedying this by Dr. Stephen R. DeVries, author of the book What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Cholesterol.
Cholesterol can be defined, contrary to its negative reputation, as a fatty substance essential to the state of health of the human body. It is an important component of cell metabolism and is mainly involved in the synthesis of several hormones.
Cholesterol is defined according to the type of transporter in the blood, so we distinguish:
- LDL cholesterol: it is considered to be bad cholesterol, since LDL (low density lipoprotein) transports it from the liver to the rest of the body, thus aggravating the risk of cardiovascular pathologies.
- HDL cholesterol: which is the good type of cholesterol since HDL (high density lipoprotein) carry this body fat to the liver where it is stored, reducing the cardiovascular risk.
There is also another type of fat transporter, which is VLDL (very low density lipoprotein) which in turn serves to transport triglycerides.
