Cholesterol is a type of fat in our blood. While our body produces all the necessary cholesterol, we also take cholesterol from the foods we consume. High cholesterol, especially LDL cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein) which is also called “bad” cholesterol, is one of the main risk factors for developing the disease. It increases our chance of developing heart disease and having a heart attack, as well as a stroke. Many factors can contribute to an increase in blood cholesterol levels, including the existence of an underlying condition, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, unhealthy lifestyle, unhealthy diet, smoking, lack of physical activity, lack of sleep and constant stress.
There are natural ways to lower blood cholesterol levels, such as avoiding trans fats and junk food, eating oily fish, brightly coloured fruits and vegetables and exercising regularly.
