According to British Association for Nutrition and Lifestyle Medicine<\/a> Many people don’t know they have (BANT). <\/p>\n

Often dubbed a “silent killer” – high cholesterol can lead to several\u00a0heart disease\u00a0including\u00a0heart attacks\u00a0and\u00a0strokes.<\/p>\n

Heart\u00a0and circulatory\u00a0diseases\u00a0cause a quarter of all\u00a0deaths\u00a0in the\u00a0UK – that’s more than 160,000\u00a0deaths\u00a0each year.<\/p>\n

What is normal cholesterol?<\/h2>\n

Cholesterol\u00a0is the fatty substance that is carried in the blood to build healthy cells.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s made by the liver but found in certain foods, and high levels can increase your risk of serious health problems.<\/p>\n

Lipoprotein is a combination of cholesterol and protein that can be carried in blood.<\/p>\n

There are two kinds of lipoprotein: low-density and high-density.<\/p>\n

How can you tell the difference between “good” and “bad” cholesterol?<\/h2>\n

HDLs transport cholesterol from the cells to the liver, where it can then be broken down.<\/p>\n

The body can then use it or dispose of the waste.<\/p>\n

HDLs are known as \u201cgood cholesterol\u201d and higher levels are considered better.<\/p>\n

LDLs are cholesterol that is carried to the cells that need it. However, if there’s too much, this can cause artery wall damage, leading to heart disease.<\/p>\n

LDLs are therefore known as \u201cbad cholesterol\u201d.<\/p>\n

Which is the best way lower your cholesterol?<\/h2>\n

Cutting back cholesterol\u00a0to the levels we were born with reduces the risk of heart attacks and strokes by a third, a study found.<\/p>\n

According to BANT, there are many ways that you can reduce your expenses.<\/p>\n
