Many people say:
π "I felt completely fine. I had no idea my cholesterol was high."
The truth is, high cholesterol often has no symptoms, but it can silently build up in your arteries over time.
If left unmanaged, it can increase your risk of heart disease and stroke.
π What Is High Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in your blood. Your body needs some cholesterol to function properly, but too much LDL ("bad") cholesterol can build up inside your arteries and reduce blood flow.
β οΈ Who Is at Higher Risk?
πΉ Eating foods high in saturated or trans fats
πΉ Physical inactivity
πΉ Being overweight or obese
πΉ Smoking
πΉ A family history of high cholesterol or heart disease
