Cholesterolis the fat-like substance found in the cells of our body, which it needsfor the production of vitamin D, hormones and bile acids, all essential for the digestion of fats. Although we can also find it in foods such as cheese, meat or eggs.

But what about good cholesterol and bad cholesterol? How are they different? How should we deal with it?

Thegood cholesterolor also known as HDL, gets this name because it is responsible for transporting cholesterol from different parts of the body to the liver, which is in charge of removing it from our body.

By contrast, theLDL or bad cholesterol, is the one we should pay special attention to and try to avoid, as it can cause plaque to build up in the arteries, which may lead to arterial disease, angina andcardiovascular problems.

And finally, theVLDL cholesterol.Although it is probably also 'bad', it is less dangerous than LDL cholesterol and is characterised by being a very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol produced in the liver and released into the bloodstream to deliver a certain type of fat to the body's tissues.

LDL cholesterol: how to manage it

Going for regular check-ups, following a healthy lifestyle, taking care with your diet (avoiding saturated fats or ultra-processed foods),exercising regularly and not smoking, are some of the tips we should bear in mind when we think about cholesterol.

As well asincluding supplements in our routine that, thanks to their formulation, help regulate these levels of dreaded bad cholesterol and prevent its possible effects.
