hey guys in this video I’m going to talk

about one of the functions of

cholesterol that rarely gets any notice

or attention and that is this

cholesterol is an antioxidant okay so it

it’s against oxidation which basically

means it’s involved in a reparative

function it acts as a band-aid now

cluster there’s a lot of other things

like it can it’s a precursor for

hormones especially sex hormones

testosterone estrogen and even stress

hormones like cortisol it also helps

make vitamin D bile to help you digest

it helps bind microbes but it’s a very

powerful antioxidant and your body makes

three times the amount of cholesterol

that you get from your diet so when

you’re consuming egg yolks animal

protein fish and seafood your body is

actually making three times as much okay

and it needs it for this very important

repair action because if we take a look

at so-called bad cholesterol which is

really not bad cholesterol

it’s a low-density lipoprotein it’s

really a little ship that carries some

cholesterol in it and it also carries

triglycerides for energy and fat soluble

vitamins and other things but it’s going

to float around and one of the functions

is going to be there so when the

receptor for LDL in the lining of the

artery needs some help

it will reach up with a hand and grab

some of that cholesterol to help in the

repair

so cholesterol really acts as a

firefighter it’s not the fire it’s the

firefighter that’s trying to put out the

fire so there’s always a reason why

cholesterol is going to bind with your

arteries and that’s usually because

there’s oxidation right now the question

is what causes oxidation okay that would

cause the cholesterol to come in there

well number one vegetable oils corn

canola soy oil that’s pretty much

everything this is very inflammatory to

your arteries and to your body

iron the type of iron that they

fortified grains with and refined grains

and it’s not the

type of iron that you want to put in

your body it’s very oxidizing of course

you shouldn’t have to worry about that

because you’re not consuming grains if

you’re watching my videos okay sugar

okay refined grains trans fats and

smoking all of these things can create a

little hole in the artery damage to

cause the need for cholesterol to build

up so I hope this shifted your viewpoint

from cholesterol being some type of evil

dangerous thing to something that

actually really can help you

the key is avoiding these things right

here so you don’t have the need for

cholesterol to come and repair anything

alright thanks for watching
