If cholesterol is so bad for you, why are there so many benefits? Here’s what you need to know about the amazing benefits of cholesterol.

so I just want to mention because we’re recommending higher fats some people get concerned about their cholesterol the evidence out there thoroughly it’s been totally fabricated that cholesterol is a bad thing your body makes 2,000 milligrams every single day all your cells make cholesterol if it was so bad then why doesn’t this 2,000 milligrams that’s like eating a lot of eggs why doesn’t that create a problem it doesn’t because the function of cholesterol actually heals the lesions of the heart when the heart breaks down because of excess sugar or stress it gets a lesion it gets a little sore in there well guess what cholesterol comes in and heals it so this is why people think or have this illusion that it’s clogging my arteries well you’ve had a lesion your body’s just trying to put a bandaid on it telling someone that cholesterol will clog your arteries or that is the cause of your clogged plaquing arteries is like telling someone that the white blood cells are the cause of your infection it’s not the infection attracts the white blood cells okay so the other thing is that cholesterol is not even a fad it’s a it’s a type of alcohol and even the cholesterol that’s measuring your blood LDL HDL those are high density lipoproteins they’re not even cholesterol they’re protein carriers so one of the purpose of cholesterol is it makes hormones it makes stress hormones and make sex hormones okay it makes a vitamin D it’s a precursor for your vile to help you break down fats and absorb nutrients it’s for the immune system people that go on a low-fat low-cholesterol diet have a lot of immune issues and they’re always hungry too cholesterol replaces the cell structures a lot of your body’s made from cluster including the brain intestinal health you know when I used to at one time I was a vegetarian and is the sickest I’ve ever been with my digestion I couldn’t digest all those foods but when I went to more heavier fats oh my gosh my intestines just you know got better and that’s because a lot of the foods with cholesterol like butter and coconut oil feed the microbes in your gut think about the main food for the microbes this called butyric acid yes butyric acid is the byproduct of eating fiber but it’s also in butter feeds the microbes okay so we have serotonin cholesterol is made to help serotonin function alright and consuming cholesterol does not cause heart disease and also consuming cholesterol does not increase cholesterol that’s the facts of of cholesterol and that is not myth it’s been proven and so you don’t have to be afraid of it anymore
