What is High Cholesterol and How Does it Affect My Health?

Our bodies manufacture almost all the cholesterol we need in the
liver. It is used to bind cells together, produce hormones,, vitamin
D, and substances that help us digest the foods that we eat. By now we
all understand the negative health affects that high cholesterol
causes. When to much is present in your blood this is where problems
arise. When we get into a situation where we have too much cholesterol
in our blood the condition is called Hypercholesterolemia or
Hyperlipidemia. Health problems from high cholesterol do not appear in
a matter of days or months but are a result of the condition
persisting over a number of years.
