If your like me than you have always heard how bad cholesterol is. Well for those looking to build muscle it is not so bad. Apparently more cholesterol has the ability to promote testosterone conversion. A study showed that higher intake in protein did not result in greater mass but rather more cholesterol did. Cholesterol is also thought to help repair tears in skeletal muscles membrane. A 12 week study showed that a group of people taking 2.6 mg or cholesterol per pound of bodyweight gained 5 pounds of muscle mass and increased strength by 90 percent. The other group taking low cholesterol only showed strength increase by 35 percent and no mass increase.
Cholesterol is necessary for building muscles, this is why you should have a balanced diet and not just tons of protein. The body can only use so much protein at each digestion anyways. If you already have problems with cholesterol it is not recommended you increase your intake. Be mindful of your health and seek the balance. If you have high cholesterol try exercising more to utilize the high cholesterol you already have.
