hey guys in this video we’re going to

talk about the importance of cholesterol

for your muscles okay

now the brain the nervous system and

your muscles desperately need

cholesterol okay without cholesterol

they just don’t work so the body can

make cholesterol and it makes a lot of

it it makes like 3,000 milligrams every

single day but you also get it from the

diet but the dietary cholesterol only

accounts for twenty to twenty-five

percent of your total cholesterol okay

so people are freaking out about

cholesterol it’s it’s gonna cause my

heart you know to have a heart attack

and blah blah blah but that’s actually

not true I’m gonna put a link down below

for some more data that you need to

watch on that one point but in this

video we’re not going to cover too much

of that so consuming foods high in

cholesterol consuming dietary

cholesterol does not increase your blood

cholesterol levels okay if you disagree

with me please do the research and put a

link down below to show me proof of that

you will not find any study that shows

any type of significant increase in your

blood cholesterol by consuming

cholesterol because there is no study

that proves that that’s interesting

cholesterol is needed to make bile to

help you digest fats cholesterol is

needed to make vitamin D but your

muscles really need cholesterol to

actually make them stronger to make them

bigger because cholesterol actually is a

precursor for making certain sex

hormones okay they’re anabolic they

build things up so anabolic means build

things up so testosterone for example

needs cholesterol so without cholesterol

you can’t make testosterone so when

people have high cholesterol they

usually put on a statin drug right now

the problem with statins is that it

blocks the pathway to make cholesterol

in the liver so it shuts down the total

production of cholesterol and look at

some of the top side effects myopathy

which is a destruction of your muscle

cells it actually kills muscle Myositis

which is inflammatory conditions of your

muscle

so pain back pain achy muscles weakness

in the muscle low amounts of coenzyme

q10 which your heart needs your heart

muscle needs that to be able to work

right so these are the side effects of

low cholesterol or blocking the

cholesterol pathways so this is the

connection between cholesterol and

muscles you need it to actually function

statins even have a blackbox warning

because it causes diabetes which then

increases your risk for heart attack so

here you’re taking statins to lower your

cholesterol to suppose supposedly

protect your heart

but then the side effect causes heart

problems insane so the benefits of

statins are very very very very very

very insignificant but the side effect

is very very very huge if you want

information alternative ways to support

your diet to help stabilize normal

cholesterol levels I put a link down

below but the point is that you don’t be

afraid of consuming cholesterol if you

want to support your muscles and also to

support healthy testosterone levels
