Our "Liver" and "Cholesterol"

Good morning my friends . . .

So, last week we spoke about our "liver" . . .

It's hidden connection to "acid reflux" . . .

And natural ways to help our "liver health"!!!

So, this week . . . let's talk more about the "liver's" function and our "cholesterol"!!!

Now . . . as we know . . . the "liver" is responsible for . . .

Clearing the blood of drugs and other poisonous substances

Regulating blood clotting

Resisting infections by making immune factors and removing bacteria from the bloodstream

And clearance of bilirubin . . . also from red blood cells . . .

BUT . . . did you know . . . that the "liver" also makes . . . 80% of the "CHOLESTEROL" the body needs to function properly for optimal health???

And THIS "cholesterol" . . . helps the body make cell membranes . . . many hormones . . . and vitamin D!!!

AND . . . the "liver" . . . actually MAKES all the "cholesterol" . . . the body needs to survive . . .

BUT . . . we also get "cholesterol" . . . from the food we eat . . .

And that SHOULD ONLY . . . be 20% per day . . .

So, the 80% the "liver" makes . . . and the . . . 20% we get from the food we eat . . .

Equals . . . 100% . . . of HEALTHINESS . . . for our body!!!

Now . . . a good example of how much 20% is . . . would be . . .

1 egg yolk contains about 200mg of "cholesterol" . . . which is the other 20% from our food . . . the body is allotted for optimal health!!!

Therefore . . . any other cholesterol from the food we've eaten from that day . . .

IS OVER and above a healthy diet.

Okay . . . so DON'T panic my friends . . .

Because . . . NOT THAT I AGREE WITH THE GOVERNMENT'S CONCEPT, MIND YOU . . .

But . . . current "dietary guidelines" . . . NO LONGER . . . set a specific numerical limit on dairy "cholesterol" intake for the general population!!!

Yes, you hear that right!!!!

Why you ask???

Well, they claim "dietary cholesterol" . . . has a smaller impact on "blood cholesterol" levels . . . than previously thought!

And tomorrow . . . we'll continue on that bandwagon . . .
