Cholesterol is a natural fatty substance produced by the liver. Essential body functions need cholesterol. It plays a significant role in the production of some hormones required in the body cell structure.

High cholesterol levels occur when you eat food containing high saturated fats. It can also occur due to genetics if someone in the family has a history of having high cholesterol levels. In high concentrations, cholesterol is dangerous.

Two Types Of Cholesterol

1. High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL)

It cleans the arteries and transports the cholesterol to the liver.

2. Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL)

It clogs the arteries and causes plaque build-up. Eventually, it may lead to complete blockage of the arteries.

Cholesterol levels are tested through measuring the levels if lipids in your blood. High cholesterol levels have an adverse impact on your health and need to be controlled as early as possible.
