Cholesterol's Journey Within
The body’s cholesterol management is an intricate process, with the liver playing a central role. The liver attempts to get rid of excess cholesterol by
dispatching it into the gut. However, the system isn’t perfect; a portion of the cholesterol that the liver tries to eliminate can make its way back into the bloodstream. This means the liver's efforts to maintain healthy cholesterol levels aren't always fully effective. Understanding this cycle helps us grasp the importance of a heart-healthy diet.
