Foods richest in Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a type of fat that is essential for the body to function properly. It is used to make hormones, cell membranes, and other important molecules. Also, cholesterol in the skin is converted to vitamin D when we are exposed to sun rays. Although cholesterol is crucial for the proper functioning of our organism, too much cholesterol in the blood can lead to the build-up of plaque in the arteries, which can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke. A healthy diet that is low in saturated and trans fats and high in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains can help to lower cholesterol levels. Dietary cholesterol has less impact on blood cholesterol levels, than the saturated and trans fats that are commonly found in many processed foods.
