Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is derived from different types of foods – both meats and vegetables. Some cholesterol is good for the body, playing an essential role in metabolizing some vitamins and minerals. But too much of the wrong kind of cholesterol can build up along the sides of blood vessels, impeding blood flow and often causing clots.
There are two types of cholesterol – so called “bad” and “good” cholesterol.

Low-density lipoproteins, or LDLs, are considered “bad”, because they can turn into artery –clogging plaque, a substance that sticks to vessel walls, blocking blood flow and making vessels less flexible. “Good” cholesterol is found in high-density lipoproteins, also called HDL. HDL actually acts as a scavenger, helping remove LDL  from the bloodstream ,so less plaque builds up. It is true that many of the fats we eat contains high levels of LDL cholesterol ,but one fat that can actually help battle “bad” cholesterol is olive oil Olive  oil one of the mainstays of the  “Mediterranean” diet that’s been touted in the news recently for its substantial health benefits . Use GREENER EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL for daily cooking instead of the lights oil (light oils are usually more processed than Extra-Virgin Oils, are lighter in colour, and cheaper but often has less benefits ).

Mix GREENER EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL with herbs to make flavourful dip for bread or use it in dressing for fresh vegetables. The cholesterol –lowering effects of olive oil are even greater if you choose extra-virgin olive oil, meaning the oil is less processed and contains more heart-healthy antioxidants. But keep in mind that “light” olive oils are usually more processed than Extra-Virgin Oils are lighter in colour and cheaper but often has less benefits.
