let’s talk about why cholesterol is so

biologically important typically when

you talk about cholesterol people are

afraid of it okay they’re trying to

avoid it but why does your body make so

much it makes 3,000 milligrams every

single day the less you consume in your

diet the less the body will make if it

was that dangerous it doesn’t make sense

that the body would makes so much of it

well let’s talk about why you need it

first of all you need it to make bile

bile is an essential fluid that helps

you break down fats that helps you break

down fat so you can extract the fat

Seibel vitamins and the essential fats

like for example omega-3 DHA from your

food so your cells can use these healthy

fats then we have vitamin D which is

really a hormone but we’re going to call

it a vitamin but vitamin D is probably

one of the most important vitamins well

guess what you need cholesterol to make

vitamin D all the sex hormones are made

from cholesterol estrogen testosterone

cortisol your brain is made up of 50%

fat and 50% cholesterol in fact out of

all the tissues in the body that make up

the organs the brain over only

represents like 2% yet it uses a

tremendous amount of cholesterol the

brain synapses are lined with

cholesterol they’re made out of

cholesterol the myelin sheath that

surrounds the nerves to prevent the

nerves from becoming short-circuited

need cholesterol so without this

protective cholesterol myelin sheath the

nerves can’t work as in MS for example

you have loss of myelin from an

autoimmune condition not a dietary

deficiency of cholesterol and you have

all sorts of neurological problems

but the most important biological

function of cholesterol has to do with

your cell membrane

okay now this is interesting because 40%

of all the cholesterol that’s made in

your body is needed for this cellular

membrane now why is it important because

you have all the cell receptors for

hormones neurotransmitter communication

all the ion channels are in the cell

those are the little channels that allow

minerals to go back and forth you have

all sorts of enzymes on the surface of

this cell that help transport things in

and out of the cell selectively and it’s

designed to keep the bad stuff out and

the viruses out and the good stuff in

there basically enzyme pumps to

establish different concentrations of

minerals inside the cell and outside the

cell for the purpose of creating an

electrical potential to allow nerves to

be transmitted in muscles to contract

and relax

the cell membrane allows certain fats I

love vitamins to enter the cell to go

into the nucleus of the cell as compared

to water soluble can’t get through that

layer also the cell membrane allows

hormones to go into the cell to the

receptors and also it has a lot to do

with signaling different communication

particles throughout the body so this

cell membrane is very very dynamic it’s

changing on a constant basis it’s there

to protect us against a lot of the

dangerous things that can invade our

cells and I just wanted to create this

video to show you the vital importance

of what cholesterol does in your body so
