Many people know how harmful high cholesterol and high triglycerides are for the heart. But do you know the benefits that these lipids generate in our body? Triglycerides and cholesterol are different types of lipids that circulate in the blood. The former store unused calories and provide energy to the body; and the latter is used to build cells and certain hormones, and although some foods provide cholesterol, most of it is produced in the liver. The lack of energy in the body triggers the sensation of hunger, and the body prepares to eat and then transport food, producing more cholesterol. If hunger continues after eating, cholesterol increases excessively. On the other hand, high triglycerides can contribute to hardening of the arteries or thickening of the arterial walls, generating atherosclerosis, which increases the risk of suffering a stroke, heart attack and heart disease.
