1 Having a positive body image means that, most of the time, you see yourself accurately, you feel comfortable in your body, and you feel good about the way you look. 2  It is common to struggle with body image, no matter who you are. 3  Severe negative body image can lead to serious eating and exercise disorders.
Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like compound that belongs to a class of molecules called steroids. It's found in many foods, in your bloodstream and in all your body's cells.
1 Dietary cholesterol and fatty acids are absorbed. 2  Triglycerides are formed in the intestinal cell from free fatty acids and glycerol and cholesterol is esterified. 3  Triglycerides and cholesterol combine to form chylomicrons. 4  Chylomicrons enter the circulation and travel to peripheral sites. VLDL is formed in the liver from triglycerides and cholesterol esters. 2  These can be hydrolyzed by lipoprotein lipase to form IDL or VLDL remnants. 3  VLDL remnants are cleared from the circulation or incorporated into LDL. 4  LDL particles contain a core of cholesterol esters and a smaller amount of triglyceride.
