Cholesterol explained: Insights on Sources, Types, causes and Treatment by Dr. Tripti Sharma
Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in the blood, essential for building cells and producing hormones. However, high levels can lead to serious health issues, primarily caused by a poor diet high in saturated fats, trans fats, and cholesterol-rich foods, along with factors like obesity, lack of physical activity, and genetics. Symptoms of high cholesterol often go unnoticed, but it can lead to complications such as
heart disease and
stroke. Treatment typically involves lifestyle changes, including a healthier diet, regular exercise, and weight management. In some cases, doctors may prescribe medications to help lower cholesterol levels and reduce health risks.
