Everyone knows that cholesterol has a lot to do with heart disease. Don’t worry too much about the risks of high cholesterol. Knowing what cholesterol is and how it affects you will undoubtedly help you in preventing high cholesterol.
1. Cholesterol and heart disease
Your blood cholesterol is a major factor in your risk of heart disease. In fact, if your cholesterol level is high, you are more likely to have a heart attack. Heart disease is the leading cause of death among men and women in the United States. Every year tens of millions of Americans get a heart attack, and half die of heart disease.
2. How does cholesterol cause heart disease?
When there is too much cholesterol in your body, it accumulates in the walls of your arteries. It hardens your arteries. As a result, your arteries become narrow or blocked. It reduces blood flow in your body. Oxygen is carried through the blood throughout your body. If your heart does not get enough oxygen due to reduced blood flow, you may experience chest pain. And if the blood supply stops completely, the result is a heart attack.
Unfortunately, high blood cholesterol does not cause any symptoms. That’s why it’s hard to come up with an idea about the condition of your arteries. Whether you suffer from heart disease or not, lowering your cholesterol is important to maintain good health.
