✍️ An Ode to Cholesterol

Cholesterol gets a bad reputation - particularly LDL.

We dislike it because we find it insinuated within the lining of our arteries.

We blame it for shortening our lives.

It is important to remember the function that the LDL serves.

It is patching up all the damage you are doing to your body.

Where inflammation and tissue damage go, LDL follows. It is part of the healing process.

So, the next time you want to throw shade at LDL, remember what your blood vessel would look like without it.

Inflamed, fibrotic, leaking, and throwing clots. You'd stroke out in no time.

Improve your habits, and thank your cholesterol for keeping you alive this long.
