Cholesterol is a type of fat that is produced 
by our liver cells. It is used in our body for 
hormone production, keeping the cell wall 
flexible, and synthesizing vitamin D and bile 
juice. There are two types of cholesterol 
present in the body- good cholesterol or 
high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and bad 
cholesterol or low-density lipoprotein (LDL). 
Good cholesterol reduces the risk of any 
heart diseases and bad cholesterol makes 
you lethargic. The optimal cholesterol level 
should be below 200mg/however, you can 
bring down your cholesterol level to normal 
by making a few changes in your diet and
