Cholestrol Levels and How To Use Them

What are Cholestrol levels and lowering your cholesterol levels?

Cholestrol levels are the difference between life and death. You must reduce your cholestrol levels. A high cholestrol level means you will have a heart attack.

Cholestrol fact, or cholestrol fiction?

The answer is both simple and complex! Simple, in that cholesterol levels themselves are not the problem. Complex, because cholestrol levels signify a different problem (albeit an easy one to resolve).

What are cholestrol levels

Simply put, when your doctor measures your cholesterol level, he discovers how much of the varying types of cholestrol are circulating in your blood. As your doctor would have you believe, high cholestrol levels are bad and low cholestrol levels are good – because that’s what he’s paid to tell you!

Regardless of the amount of cholestrol in your diet, your liver will make however high or low a cholestrol level your body needs, period. High cholestrol diet or low cholestrol diet, your cholestrol levels will be the same – why? Check out our cholestrol page for full details.

Put simply, it doesn’t matter whether your diet is high in cholestrol or low in cholestrol – cholestrol is so important to your body that it can, and does make your cholestrol levels exactly what it needs them to be.

Does it matter that you have “high cholestrol levels”?

Of course it does, but not for the reasons you think. High cholestrol levels signify that you are deficient in Vitamin C, which is used to repair the continual damage to your arteries. If you can’t fix them, the body needs to do something else and high cholestrol levels show that your body is using its “reserve” repair material instead of its first choice, nothing more, nothing less.

As explained on our cholestrol page, the issue is not your high cholestrol levels, it is your dietary lack of vitamin C that causes high cholesterol levels, so stop worrying about your and cholesterol levels and start worrying about your vitamin C intake!
