There are many significant responsibilities, (especially in both the body and brain) are performed by the Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL), one of the components of body cholesterol. Hormones, vitamins and minerals provide many benefits to our body. The basic functions of hormones and vitamins, especially vitamin D, depend on this cholesterol .cholesterol acts as the covering of nerve cells. Brain is nothing but a whole piece of group of nerve cells which is controlling our whole body functions. So think about the amount of cholesterol in brain. Inside the blood vessels cholesterol removes the toxic substances from the blood, thus protects the blood vessels form any active damage. How it can do this? As cell wall is sixty eight percent composed of cholesterol it acts as sealing and repairing agent of any injured or weaken arteries by any toxic substances produced inside the body. About four fifth of total cholesterol is produced inside the body and the rest one forth we can get from food. As our body always understands its need, when cholesterol level goes down body can response into a fatal outcome even up to heart attack like raised level!
Raised LDL? First of all think from the point of body’s view. it may be due to some other passive causes like decrease of Vit C(responsible for production of collagens, one of the cell wall elements; decrease of which cause raised LDL), thyroid hormone level and depression even, as LDL is responsible for the stress hormone production.
Moreover the Lipid profile which we do is usually often useless as our blood cholesterol may vary form time to time. So nothing but the waste of money and time.
Unfortunately, statins lowers the LDL, which is needed inside the body most.
So if you find your LDL raised, Use Vit C regularly which is very cheap and available,
Be conscious about your thyroid status.
Some “noteworthy benefits” of statins are: creates Congestive heart Failure and cardiomypathy, calcification of heart vessels, raised risk of kidney damage.
Now what benefits can you get really from the lipid lowering drugs?
The answer is: nothing…
