Dec 8, 2022Does Cholesterol Affect Fertility?
Unfortunately made a villain, here are Cholesterol facts you must know:
- All your cell walls need cholesterol to hold them together.
- For your skin to make Vitamin D, it needs cholesterol
- Cholesterol is used to make your adrenal hormones – cortisol and aldosterone
- Most importantly for fertility: Cholesterol helps make progesterone, estrogen, DHEA & testosterone.
Sadly, there’s a HUGE myth around cholesterol. Doctors ask heart patients to avoid eggs, ghee & eat low oil foods because these contain cholesterol. But did you know Only about 20% of cholesterol in your bloodstream comes from the food you eat. Your body, mainly the liver, makes the rest. The liver also produces bile which is needed to absorb & use this cholesterol.
That’s why liver function & cholesterol are important factors to look at when a couple is trying to conceive. They can make a BIG difference to egg & sperm quality, ovarian and uterine health.
