What is cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance in the body. It is produced by your body and also found in food. While it is needed for good health, too much cholesterol can damage your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease.

It’s important to get a blood test and regular Heart Health check-ups. We can help you manage cholesterol to improve your health.

Why is high cholesterol bad for your health?

Although some cholesterol is needed for your body to function, too much cholesterol can lead to health problems. The extra low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol builds up in the walls of the arteries, forming plaques. Plaques can block your arteries, making it harder for blood to flow through. This causes the vessels to narrow and they can eventually become blocked. This can lead to heart disease and stroke.

Lifestyle changes such as exercising and eating a healthy diet are the first line of defense against high cholesterol. However, if you’ve made these important lifestyle changes and your cholesterol levels remain high, a doctor may recommend medication. High blood cholesterol levels often have a genetic component. Some people inherit altered genes that cause high cholesterol.
