Guide to Bad Cholesterol
Guide to Bad Cholesterol
You must have heard at least once as cholesterol being referred to in two separate parts: good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. However, did you ever take the time to find out why and what is the difference between the two, because most people do not, and this is in fact one of the most important things in regards to the human health that anyone could know.
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is an important substance in our body, which is found in our blood stream and cells. The body needs cholesterol in order for it to be able to function well, and as well it contributes to number hormones and produces cell membrane.
The good cholesterol is also known as high-density lipoprotein (HDL) because the same carries it in our blood stream. The reason this cholesterol is considered good is because it protects our heart from a stroke or any other such diseases. The right level for good cholesterol is a minimum of 40mg/dL or more.
Bad cholesterol, which is also known as low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is bad because a high number of the same can clog in the arteries thus, provoking a heat attack or any other heart related diseases. The normal level of bad cholesterol is 200mg/dL or less in order not to pose a risk of any heart problems.

One thing to note is that when an individual combines both Diet and Exercise that is where the most benefit and results occur. To just do one of them is okay, but is only attacking the problem from one side.
A multi sided attack on cholesterol will greatly benefit the health of the individual as well as significantly aid in lowering those nasty cholesterol levels.
Since cholesterol is directly related to Heart Disease, things like heart attacks, stroke and sudden cardiovascular death it makes sense to do everything possible to stop it.
That is why coupling the exercise and diet approach with Lipistat makes so much sense!
It is just one more way that you can attack the bad cholesterol in your body.

I met with a lifelong friend last night. He is a Marine and has been on active duty for just over 17 years. He is in great shape!! He can run several miles, does pullups, pushups, situps, all that stuff… He always gets high marks on his physical fitness evaluations the Marine Corp give every year.
So… When he told me his cholesterol was all out of whack I was SURPRISED! He had an annual physical done and they checked his cholesterol levels.
His "Good Cholesterol" (HDL) was under 20, it was 16! That is awful… I actually had a hard time believing and had to ask if he was being serious.
His "Bad Cholesterol" (LDL) was very high, 280… Combined it was a recipe for disaster.
The result was his doctor put him on one of the Statins, and didn't tell him about any of the possible side effects. I asked him what the side effects were for this specific statin based pharmaceutical drug and he had no idea.
I asked him if he had spoken to his Dr. about it, and he just said the Doc gave him the pills… They never talked about the side effects.
In his case, with his Cholesterol levels so out of whack it was good the Dr. did something!
We had a long conversation about Lipistat and the benefits of using an all natural, safe supplement to naturally control cholesterol levels. After the conversation and showing him the Cholesterol Response website he was excited about trying something that was natural and didn't have any of the documented side effects pharmaceutical grade statins had…
Now it is a matter of time until we start seeing the results of Lipistat in his life. I am glad I had that conversatio with him!
