Proper thyroid function is an important aspect of cholesterol fitness. Every cell in your body uses small fragments of cholesterol for needed metabolic functions, including the support system to maintain the three-dimensional structure of the cell itself. The rate that cholesterol is used by your cells is governed by thyroid hormone. If thyroid function...

Three key areas are central to cardiovascular wellness: blood pressure (circulation), cholesterol (and other blood fats), and the health of the heart muscle itself.
