Elevated cholesterol levels are a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases. Understanding how to manage cholesterol can significantly impact overall health outcomes.

A high level of LDL (bad cholesterol) can lead to atherosclerosis, which may present symptoms like chest pain or fatigue during exertion.
Diagnosis often involves routine blood tests that measure total cholesterol levels along with LDL and HDL (good cholesterol).
Lifestyle adjustments such as incorporating more fruits and vegetables into your diet and increasing physical activity can be effective first steps in managing cholesterol levels. Medications like statins may also be prescribed if necessary.
