How does cholesterol help?

Cholesterol is transported around the body by lipoproteins, which is fat attached to protein. There are two types - HDLs (high density lipoproteins) and LDLs (low density lipoproteins)LDLs carry cholesterol from the liver to body cells. Too much can block arteries. So this is "bad cholesterol"HDLs carry cholesterol that isn't needed from body cells back to the liver for removal from the body. So these are "good cholesterol"Hope I helped :)
