However, despite the advantages of cholesterol, if cholesterol or lipid levels in the blood are too high, it can put you at risk of cardiovascular disease. High cholesterol or high cholesterol will cause headaches and difficulty breathing, which are the main signs that cholesterol builds up in large numbers along the walls of blood vessels, causing blood vessels to narrow. This causes blood circulation to not be as good as it should.

Know the type of cholesterol

• High-Density Lipoprotein (HDL) It is responsible for bringing excess cholesterol from cells back to the liver to destroy or excrete it in the form of waste products from the body.
• Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) It serves to transport cholesterol to various cells in the body. If there is more than the cells need, it will accumulate in the blood vessel walls. It is a dangerous type and can have serious health consequences.

Know the conditionHigh cholesterol What is it? Symptoms and alarms.

Hypercholesterolemia It is a condition in which the level of cholesterol or lipids in the blood exceeds the standard value required by the body, which can cause harm to the cardiovascular system. Risk of ischemic heart disease and arteriosclerosis. It is also a condition that cannot be cured.

• Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL) is cholesterol that "Bad" has the potential to accumulate along the walls of blood vessels, causing them to harden and narrow, so the level should be maintained at the value required by the body. 
• Typical LDL levels for adults should not exceed 130 mg/dL. 
• In case of other conditions or risk factors such as high blood pressure, diabetes, or a family history of premature coronary artery disease. LDL levels should not exceed 100 mg/dL. 
• Triglycerides It is a fat that the body creates on its own from sugars and starches. If it is too high, it increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, normal blood levels should not exceed 150 mg/dL.
