one thing go surely kill man pikin one day na

OP you forgot to mention that cholesterol is used for the production of steroid hormones, including all the sex hormones.

Cholesterol is being demonized for a lot of bad reasons. The main culprit is LDL cholesterol which causes inflammation.

Health is important. We don't know whether to stop eating to live longer or eat to die quick.
A lot is being said about diet these days but, who is absolutely sure of what he is eating.
Miseducation, bad/fake products, poor Medicare etc are serious opponents to this cause of maintaining healthy diet.
Only God can help us to live longer healthy life and not diet.
I rest my case.

Accident, stray bullet, boko, robbers...building collapse, fake drugs, juju, village pple, unknown sickness..etc. Na only God dey save person.

OP nice one, as a Registered Dietitian(RD) I will like you to note that HDL in high level can also be dangerous. Moderation is the watch word in Nutrition because the body also manufacture some amount of cholestrol.

You’ll be surprised how little people know about something as important as their cholesterol level. Jumia Travel, the leading online travel agency, shares 6 things you should know about your cholesterol level.

Your Body Actually Needs Cholesterol

Cholesterol actually has health benefits which your body needs. Cholesterol helps to make key hormones, synthesizes vitamin D, is an essential component of cell membranes and is needed for brain and nerve function. The problem, however, is when the level of cholesterol in the body is excessively high.

There’s Bad Cholesterol and Good Cholesterol

Cholesterol is carried through the body by high-density lipoproteins (HDL) and low-density lipoproteins (LDL). LDL is considered the “bad” cholesterol because it deposits plaque in your arteries; HDL is considered the “good” cholesterol because it transports bad cholesterol from your batteries back to your liver, where it is removed from the body. Typically, a high LDL cholesterol poses a greater risk of heart disease, while high HDL is protective against heart disease.

Genetics and Diet Can Cause High Cholesterol Levels

High cholesterol can be caused by your diet and it can also be inherited. Some people inherit genes that cause their bodies to make too much LDL, and eating foods that are high in saturated and trans fat (like cheese, red meat, fried foods etc.) can also raise LDL.

Physical Activity

Remember the saying, “Your body has so many joints, because it was made to move”? There’s no truer saying. Aside keeping you fit, physical activity helps boost HDL and flush bad LDL out of your system.

Eat Some Nuts

Nuts and olives are the two main foods believed to contain nutrients that help to stop LDL from damaging arterial walls.

Regular Checks

It’s recommended that everyone age 20 years old and older should have their cholesterol level measured at least one every five years.

Back in the days in sec sch, we were to taught that cholestrol is general bad for the body and were even advised to eat rabbit meat as it contains less cholestrol in comparison to chicken. Thanks OP for the HDL and LDL aspect

Bro what exactly are you trying to say? I know there is LIPID PROFILE TEST, and there is FASTING BLOOD SUGAR(FBS) TEST and it is termed FASTING because you do not eat for approximately 6hours before the test and it is mostly done in early the morning, Glucose Tolerance Test the list goes on.

BaesDiary:
Nice info.....

Also, you can be slim and still have high cholesterol...

Medical checkup and tests such as Fasting Lipid Profile (FLP) will go a long way to determine such....

Any tool to measure the balance of cholesterol in the body. It would go a long way to help even people in the village

Quite funny.
