What Is Mixed Hyperlipidemia?
1. Cholesterol
Despite having such a bad name, cholesterols are actually very important for us. For example, they are required for our bodies to make vitamin D. They are also needed to make various hormones, and they are also necessary for the construction of our cell’s walls. Some cholesterols are made by our bodies, while many we get from our food.
As with so many other things, having cholesterols in our body per se is not a problem. The problem is when we have too much of them in our bodies. Too many cholesterols in our body can be bad for our health, and it can even pose a very real threat to our lives.
