Eating more insoluble fiber can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream.

Eating more soluble fiber (found in foods such as Brussels sprouts, oatmeal, apples and kidney beans) can reduce the absorption of cholesterol into your bloodstream.

2

There may be a link between cholesterol and depression.

Explanation:

Research dating back to the 90s shows that low levels of HDL cholesterol (sometimes called "good cholesterol") is significantly lower in many patients with major depressive disorder than in non-depressed patients.

3

Being overweight or obese can increase the amount of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) in your blood.

Explanation:

Being overweight or obese can increase LDL, which is the kind of lipoprotein that's been linked to heart disease. LDL is often referred to as the "bad cholesterol", because a high LDL level leads to a buildup of cholesterol in your arteries.

4

Your body doesn't need any cholesterol to function properly.

Explanation:

Your body does need some types of cholesterol to stay healthy. For example, cholesterol is essential in building cells and making hormones. However, while HDL cholesterol can lower your risk for heart disease and stroke, LDL cholesterol raises it.
