Good Cholesterol and Bad Cholesterol

Cholesterol comes from animal sources (beef, lamb, pork, egg yolk, seafoods and so on). We can categorize Cholesterol into good cholesterol (HDL) and bad cholesterol (LDL). So good cholesterol is responsible to transport our extra cholesterol out of our body through liver, while bad cholesterol transport cholesterol through blood vessels and deposit among blood vessels or organs. Hard to understand? Just remember we do need cholesterol to build hormone, cell membrane and synthesis bile. Amount of cholesterol needed per day is around 300 mg. If we exceed the amount, the extra cholesterol will deposit in our body and therefore as all know, may increase the risk of heart disease



胆固醇唯一来源是由动物的(牛肉,羊肉,猪肉,蛋黄,内脏,海鲜)。胆固醇可以分胆固醇(HDL)和坏胆固醇(LDL)。摄取胆固醇负责运输身体多余的胆固醇从肝脏排出,而坏胆固醇将会把多余的胆固醇凝聚在血管或器官里,造成柱塞问题。其实我们的身体确实需要胆固醇来制造荷尔蒙激素,细胞膜胆汁等。一天里,我们需要仅约300毫克的胆固醇。当我们摄取过量胆固醇时将多余的胆固醇沉积在我们的身体里,造成各种疾病。
