Cholesterol

Cholesterol is a component of our body that we produce on our own and also get from food. It is normal for everybody to have some amount of cholesterol in their blood stream and it is also very essential. We use this substance for the production of cell membranes, hormones and for other functions of our body. It is a waxy substance and this is what is risky about having too much of it in our bloodstream. An accumulation of too much cholesterol can lead to a heart attack, coronary heart disease or a stroke.
