Cholesterol and Your Health Description
|
|
Cholesterol is a natural substance that serves as a building block for cells and hormones. A certain amount is good for you. But, excess cholesterol can stick to the walls of vessels, making it harder for blood to move through them. Sometimes cholesterol blocks an artery. Then, the body part served by the artery cannot receive needed nutrients or oxygen. A heart attack can occur if an artery is blocked in the heart. If the blockage is in the brain, a stroke can result.
This pamphlet will explain:
- How cholesterol works in the body
- Who should be tested
- What you can do to lower your cholesterol level
