Cholesterol High? Your chance of Alzheimer's and Brain Cancer reduces!

Cholesterol High? Your chance of Alzheimer's and Brain Cancer reduces!

Did your recent blood test show you have high cholesterol? Does it mean your going to have a heart attack?

I'm going to sum this up! What is HDL and LDL?
HDL and LDL are carriers (containers) to carry cholesterol to vital organs of your body.

Example:
When your body needs to make more ESTROGEN, the brain recognizes it, the brain sends cholesterol to the ovaries and then the ovaries can make estrogen but NOT UNTIL there is CHOLESTEROL.

Every time you have to think, your brain HAS to have cholesterol to make synapses and for communication between every synapse in your brain to occur. So if want to THINK?
Your brain needs cholesterol.

The importance of cholesterol for the brain:
*The brain is only 2% of the bodies weight but it contains 25% of the cholesterol to support brain function.
*Cholesterol in the body and the brain serves as a powerful antioxidant and protects the body and the brain from damaging effects of free radicals. (when free radicals affect the brain they have the ability to create brain lesions, brain tumors, brain cancer, parkinson's, dementia and Alzheimers.)

So in essence - Cholesterol is ABSOLUTELY necessary for the brain to function and the less healthy fat and cholesterol you bring in to the body through diet and the lower your cholesterol is - The chance of brain disorders and sickness occurs!

Should you stop checking your cholesterol?
NO!

Cholesterol being high or low is just a symptom and a warning sign.
The most important blood tests you can get a long with cholesterol is CRP and Homocysteine. Both of these are inflammatory tests, if you have high cholesterol or low cholesterol and your CRP and Homocysteine is high, your chance of a heart attack or stroke increases.
It is not your cholesterol, it is the inflammation of cholesterol.
