Cholesterol

Cholesterol is an often misunderstood topic these days. Cholesterol is not a good predictor of heart disease, and something that many people do not know is that it is actually not good for you to have too low of a cholesterol. If your cholesterol gets too low then your chances of things like cancer and strokes increase. If your cholesterol is low your will also have abnormal hormone production. Many of the hormones in the body are made from cholesterol, so if you cut all of the cholesterol out of your diet you will lose the ability to create proper hormone balance. Another interesting thing about cholesterol is that it can change by 20% based on the season. During the winter and fall your cholesterol will be 20% higher than in the spring and summer. So if you get your cholesterol checked in the colder months make sure that you account for the time of year.
