Why is cholesterol important for your health and the function of your body?

Why is cholesterol important for your health and the function of your body? Is cholesterol in your diet really that bad?

Cholesterol doesn’t make you fat or anything, but it contributes to heart disease in the future. If you have a high cholesterol, you have a high chance of heart disease. To prevent this, try eating mono-unsaturated fats, and poly-unsaturated fats. These are good fats that lower bad cholesterol, and increase your good cholesterol. Sources of mono and poly unsaturated fats are nuts – almonds, pecans, peanuts, and walnuts, and cooking oil, lol.
