What is High Cholesterol?

Cholesterol is a type of lipid (fat) present in our blood stream. Our body needs some amount of good fats to maintain cellular function.

When we eat a diet predominant in saturated fats for a prolonged period of time, the blood cholesterol levels rise beyond limits raising serious health concerns. This is known as high blood cholesterol.

In some people, there is an inherent tendency to develop high blood cholesterol levels in blood or hypercholesterolemia.

What is the Difference Between Good Cholesterol and Bad Cholesterol?

HDL (High density lipoproteins) is the good blood cholesterol and LDL (Low density lipoproteins) is the bad cholesterol in blood.

HDL helps to flush out the bad LDL cholesterol from the blood thereby preventing it from depositing in the lumen of the various arteries which may lead to cardiovascular problems.

The normal level of total blood cholesterol is <200.

What can be done to Lower Blood Cholesterol Levels without Medication?

Blood cholesterol levels can be managed to a large extent by maintaining a regulated diet routine and increasing the level of physical activity.
