It is important to understand that healthy food can not be unsystematic, and it is important to eat not only tasty, but also useful food.

What is cholesterol?
Cholesterol - natural fat (lipophilic) alcohol. Cholesterol is not dissolved in the water, but is soluble in fats and other organic solvents. Much of this, about 80% of cholesterol, necessary for the process of metabolism, is produced by organism in liver, intestines, kidneys, adrenal glands, sex organs, the remaining 20% are complemented with food. Cholesterol ensures stability of cell membranes in a wide range of temperatures. The level of activity reflects processes of cholesterol synthesis in liver.

Atherosclerosis is one of the most common chronic diseases of circulatory system, occurs when walls of arteries begin putting off excess fat - sclerotic plates are formed. But everything starts with lifestyle and nutritional neglect.

Cholesterol 220 mg / dL is considered high, 250 mg / dL - requires treatment, 300 - is already a high degree of risk factors for atherosclerosis. Diet is necessary for any raised level of cholesterol.

Why cholesterol is dangerous?

Not cholesterol itself is dangerous, but its high level, because it promotes formation of atherosclerotic plaques on walls of vessels, what causes embolism, and promote hypertension, heart attack.

We know that cholesterol plaques violate blood flow, they also provoke formation of wall blood clots. Under adverse conditions clot can be detached and block an artery somewhere. Then acute deficiency of vessels (eg, heart attack) takes place.

Doctors advice to determine level of total cholesterol. It is better to pass analysis on all parameters of blood lipid spectrum. Any disease - a consequence of malnutrition, therefore, you should review your relation to foods.

Can I use dietary supplements without a doctor?
No, you cannot, to avoid disruption of metabolism. Physicians consider that «… until now a strong axiom that increased consumption of dietary cholesterol leads to atherosclerosis, and thus, to a heart attack or stroke exists in public consciousness. Manufacturers evolved a profitable «anticholesterol» industry due to this fact. Hundreds of «diet» non-fat foods, medicine and bioadditives are produced, which long effect is not studied well, and positive effect while relatively low levels of cholesterol, to put it mildly, has not yet been proven».

So, these are basic principles of anticholesterol nutrition.
