Myth About Cholesterol

How you can think faster, live longer and be loved by everyone it's not a dream!

Cholesterol is a critical nutrient essential for your brain in order for the function of neurons and it is a building block of your cell membrane. It acts as an antioxidant and it is very important as a precursor in your brain-supporting elements like vitamin D, as well as steroid-related hormones (testosterone and estrogen). It is an essential fuel for your neurons. Because neurons can't make enough cholesterol by themselves they have to rely on a special carrier protein to deliver cholesterol from the bloodstream.

This carrier protein is LDL and it has been demonized as bad cholesterol. But in reality it is not a cholesterol molecule at all good or bad. It is a low-density lipoprotein and there is absolutely nothing bad about it. The role of LDL in the brain is to gather cholesterol and transport it to the neuron performing very important functions.

The brain can't function very well when cholesterol levels are low and there is significant scientific literature evidence to prove this fact. You need to change your attitude towards cholesterol and LDL because they are your friends not your enemy.

Blaming cholesterol, and LDL for disease like coronary artery problems is wrong and it has more to do with oxidized LDL. It becomes damaged through physical modification by glucose when the sugar molecules attach themselves to LDL and change its shape, making it less useful while increasing free radical production.

You accelerate your brain's decline by following a low-fat, high-carb diet with fruit on the side. You can control the fate of your brain through lifestyle even with your inherited DNA. You can naturally prevent, treat and sometimes cure - without drugs despite the Big Pharma invested interest saying otherwise.

Alzheimer's disease, ADHD, headaches, depression, insomnia, anxiety, autism, Tourette's syndrome, all brain based ailments and even diabetes and heart disease all have been currently approached ineffectively and unsustainable by our current model of treatment otherwise these figures would not be on the rise.

Just as we once believed the earth was flat and you may think the sun rises and sets it's the earth that actually spins around the sun you have to change your old way of thinking and see how advances in science have allowed us to improve your quality of life rather than just suffering longer in life.

To understand what is happening today you have to go back to our ancestor's diet which consisted of 75% fat , 20% protein and 5% carbs and compare it to the diet recommended by so called experts today which is 20% fat, 20% protein and 60% carbs. The difference in this diet has everything to do with how well you age and whether you suffer from neurological disorder or disease.

Cholesterol is a critical brain nutrient essential for neuron functions and cell membrane building.
