Direction
The cholesterol that available inside your
body actually has various functions. This substance is used to create the
structure of several things in your body such as the arteries, veins, cell
walls. Furthermore, this substance is also used in producing several enzymes
which will be used in the digestion system. This substance is also used to help
several hormones production. Actually the amount of cholesterol needed by your
body is already produced by your liver. Thus there is already enough
cholesterol inside your body to support this substance functions that we

anymore cholesterol to your body through the foods that you eat. Then what
about the amount of cholesterol in lobster tail?
If there are excess amount of cholesterol inside your body which comes from the
foods that you eat, then your body system will actually remove it out your body
through the stool. However, sometimes there is some cholesterol that already
attached into the artery wall which difficult to removed.
Actually this substance is comes only from
food that is animal based which includes eggs, meat, dairy and seafood
including this lobster. However, food that is plant based does not give you
cholesterol contents for example the grain, fruits and vegetable. If you want
to know inside one portion of the lobster meat which measured at 4 ounce of
weight in boiled condition, you will get 170 mg of this cholesterol content. As

of butter that you melt.
You should know that when you add too much
cholesterol content inside your system through the food that you eat, then it

then the amount of cholesterol that you can consume every day should be no more
than 200 mg every day.
