Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in every cell of the body, essential for producing hormones, vitamin D, and bile acids that help digest fat. It is transported in the bloodstream by lipoproteins, primarily low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL). While LDL is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol due to its association with plaque buildup in arteries, HDL is considered "good" cholesterol as it helps remove cholesterol from the bloodstream. Maintaining a balance between these two types is crucial for cardiovascular health.
