In this video, we’re going to talk about how to read and understand your cholesterol levels.
What is the function of cholesterol? Cholesterol acts as a cell membrane coating. Every cell in the body has a coating of cholesterol.
Cholesterol is essential for the creation of hormones in the body—especially stress hormones and sex hormones.
Cholesterol also plays an important role in brain function and memory. This is why one potential side effect of statin medications (which lower your cholesterol) is memory loss.
More uses of cholesterol include the creation of vitamin D and bile.
What is the difference between “good” and “bad” cholesterol?
HDL is considered good cholesterol, and LDL is considered bad cholesterol.
HDL stands for high-density lipoprotein, and LDL stands for low-density lipoprotein.
There’s no such thing as good and bad cholesterol. There’s only one type of cholesterol. The only difference between HDL and LDL is the protein that encapsulates it.
To mix cholesterol with water, you have to encapsulate it with protein.
LDL transports cholesterol from the liver to the bloodstream. HDL takes the excess cholesterol that LDL transports and removes it from the bloodstream to put back into the liver.
HDL should be greater than 40 in men and greater than 46 in women. LDL should be less than 130.
What are triglycerides? Triglycerides are fats in your blood—they are sugars converted into fat. They are used to transport excess carbohydrates. So if you have high triglycerides, it’s likely that you have way too much sugar in your body.
Insulin converts sugar into triglycerides. You want your triglycerides to be less than 150.
The triglyceride to HDL ratio is a much better indicator of your heart disease risk.
The best way to improve your ratio is to lower your carbohydrate/sugar intake. Healthy Keto is the best diet for lowering your carbohydrates.
75% of the cholesterol in your body is created by your body. Only 25% of the cholesterol in your body is dietary.
