Cholesterol lowers/worsen the self-healing capacity of the body. Injuries heal very difficult, recovery from surgery goes very badly. But what many people do not think about is that your body is constantly renewed. It constantly creates new cells, hormones, nerves and brain cells and is a part of digestion. But what many people often do not know is that the body also uses cholesterol for the immune system. The immune system tackles infections but also destroys cancer cells. So what do you think? With cholesterol lowering agents, the body can hardly do this anymore. You become more vulnerable to infections (pathogens) but also to other diseases. Brain diseases are just some of the consequences. The risk of dying from an infection is also much higher. Many elderly people often die from infections. As you get older, the cholesterol level often goes up. Probably not for nothing when you consider that cholesterol also has a function for the immune system.

The only thing cholesterol lowering agents do is to reduce your chances of a heart attack a little bit.

Cholesterol in itself is harmless. Also high cholesterol is harmless in itself.

One more thing I think a lot of people care about. Without cholesterol no (good) sex.

Cholesterol lowerers also cause (much) worse sex.

@Kleurdraak Dit is me allemaal bekend, maar het heeft weinig zin om er (te) diep op in te gaan. Ik heb het globaal besproken en ik heb ook gezegd dat ik er eventueel een andere keer dieper op inga of een onderdeel ervan behandel.
Interessant. Hoewel mijn man een intensieve sporter is en wij vrij gezond eten, gaat het met zijn cholesterol niet zo goed...
@enigma Misschien maaktzijn lichaam dan juist meer cholesterol aan omdat hij intensief sport. Wat ik nl een beetje mis, of ik lees eroverheen, in bovenstaand is dat cholesterol vooral gebruikt wordt om alle cellen in ons lichaam te vernieuwen, ELKE dag weer.... Show more
