Basic facts on cholesterol
A small amount of cholesterol is necessary for your physical wellbeing but excess can be harmful. Your body produces the cholesterol it needs through your liver. Many foods are rich in cholesterol, such as meat, fatty cheese, butter and eggs.
LDL cholesterol is also called ”bad” cholesterol. LDL lipo proteins transfer cholesterol from your blood to your tissues as well as the your artery walls. The higher the amount of cholesterol in your blood, the bigger the probability that cholesterol gets stuck in the artery walls and your veins risk being clogged.
