The whole world is up in arms against cholesterol, but most of us do not really know what it is. Cholesterol is a waxy lipid in your blood that is made by the liver and is also synthesised from the food that you eat. And contrary to popular belief, cholesterol is not really “bad bad” but is necessary for certain vital functions of the human body like the production of hormones and the generation of tissue and cell membranes. The problem however, occurs when we tend to have a higher level of cholesterol than what is healthy for the human body, and this is the case with a majority of us because of the large amount of fatty, sugar rich and processed foods that we consume throughout the day.
