So, what is cholesterin?
Cholesterin, also known as cholesterol, is a waxy substance found in every cell of the body. It is a type of lipid or fat, which plays important roles in the formation of cell membranes, digestion, and the production of hormones. While the body needs cholesterol to function properly, too much of it can lead to health problems such as heart disease. Cholesterin is found in animal products like meat, eggs, and dairy. Plant-based foods do not contain cholesterol, making them a healthier choice for those looking to reduce their intake.
