And few words about brain cholesterol.

🧠 And few words about brain cholesterol.
The brain contains approximately 20–25% of the body’s total cholesterol, but this cholesterol is produced within the brain itself. It does not come directly from the cholesterol circulating in your bloodstream because the blood-brain barrier keeps these two cholesterol pools largely separate.
Brain cholesterol is essential for healthy nerve cells, communication between brain cells (synapses), and the formation of myelin, the protective coating that surrounds nerves.
This is another reminder that cholesterol itself is not the enemy. It is a vital substance that our bodies need to function properly.
You might wonder, “Why is this important to know?”

Because the more we understand the incredible way Allah SWT designed our bodies, the better equipped we are to care for them. Knowledge empowers us to take responsibility for our health.
