The Basics of Cholesterol and Why It Matters
Cholesterol is a natural substance that originates from two sources: your body and the foods you eat. Scientifically, it is a type of fat created by your liver that is found circulating in the blood. Excess cholesterol that results from a diet high in trans and saturated fats can lead to stroke, heart disease, and heart attacks. Having high cholesterol will not produce any obvious symptoms until it is too late; that is why a preventative plan of action is crucial to understanding your body's health and role in maintaining proper cholesterol levels.
