It appears that there is "a growing pile of evidence that the central nervous system is far more involved in the control of essential metabolic processes than we once thought." One example is the formation of cholesterol in our bodies, which is produced by the liver. It has been thought that cholesterol levels are mainly reliant on diet and liver function, but a new study has found "for the first time that cholesterol is also under direct 'remote control' by specific neurocircuitry in the central nervous system." So it turns out that by improving the function of your spinal cord and brain, chiropractic care may help to keep your cholesterol levels in check.
