The importance of cholesterol and the cholesterol test:

Cholesterol is necessary for normal body functions including production of hormones and bile acid, and for healthy cell membranes.

Build up of cholesterol, a fatty substance, can occur for a number of reasons, including eating the wrong type of foods. This build up of cholesterol causes the lining of arteries to become clogged, restricting proper circulation and increasing the risk of heart attacks and stroke.

Therefore, it is important to ensure that your cholesterol level do not get out of hand. A high cholesterol level is one of the most important risk factors for cardiovascular disease. By controlling your cholesterol level you will reduce the risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke.

Other risk factors for heart attacks include smoking, obesity, family history, high blood pressure, diabetes, high homocysteine level and stress. The more risk factors you have, the higher your risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke.

How to check your cholesterol:
You can try to gauge how much cholesterol you are consuming with dietary analysis, but that does not give you the information you need. What you really need to know is your blood level. This will help you to reduce the risk of suffering from heart attacks, stroke and vascular disease.
