Although the link between stress and cholesterol is not fully studied, it is suggested that stress can encourage the body to produce more energy, in response to which the liver secretes more cholesterol-lowering LDL (low-density lipoprotein). And as we know, high cholesterol can lead to heart disease and other health problems. Stress can also suppress the body's ability to clear lipids or promote inflammatory processes.
