An Ode to Cholesterol
Cholesterol gets a bad reputation.
We dislike it because we find it caking the walls of our arteries.
We blame it for shortening our lives.
It is important to remember the function it serves.
It is patching up all the damage you are doing to your body.
Where inflammation and tissue damage go, cholesterol follows.
It is part of the healing process.
The next time you want to throw shade,
remember what your blood vessel would look like without it.
Inflamed, leaking, and throwing clots.
You'd stroke out in no time.
Improve your habits, and thank your cholesterol for keeping you alive.
