Hello fellow bloggers, I hope you all are doing well. Before starting today's blog, I would like to give you all a big thanks for showering so much love on the previous parts of this blog. Usually the blogs get likes and comments for two or three days after getting published but myths breaking blogs are still getting likes and it makes me feel very happy so here comes the third part of this series (I think now it can be called a series). As the title states, these myths are related to cholesterol. Whenever we hear the word cholesterol, the first thing that comes to mind is that it is bad but this is not true. Some cholesterol are good for health so it becomes important to break the myths and learn the facts- 
Myth- All cholesterol are bad. 
Fact- Good cholesterol is required by the body to make hormones and cells. Cholesterol is present on a protein called lipoprotein in the blood. Two types of lipoproteins are present. One is low density lipoprotein (LDL) which is bad cholesterol and the other is high density lipoprotein (HDL) and this one is good cholesterol. It brings cholesterol back in the liver and then liver secretes it out from the body. It reduces the chances of heart problems and stroke. 
Myth - High level of cholesterol can be felt by the individual.
Fact- Many time the symptoms of high cholesterol are not visible. In some cases, when you get to know about the high level of bad cholesterol, it is quite late so it is advised to get the cholesterol level checked in every five years. Sometimes deposits starts to occur on the skin due to high cholesterol, it is called xanthoma.
Myth- Cholesterol level is not affected by our diet. 
Fact- The truth is that it is directly affected by what we eat. If you eat food that contains high amount of saturated fats then it can increase your cholesterol. Try to have less saturated fats such as butter, cheese.
Myth- Cholesterol level cannot be changed. 
Fact- You can improve the level of cholesterol by reducing the amount of saturated fat, including more fibre containing food in your diet, doing exercise regularly, avoiding smoking and consumption of tobacco.
