Cholesterol is a substance similar to fat which is formed in a liver and gets in organism with some products. Cholesterol is necessary for organism: it is a part of body cells. Cholesterol is used for synthesis of hormones, vitamin D and acids required for digestion.

A small amount of cholesterol is quite enough for organism.

The main cause of the cholesterol level increasing is the food rich in saturated fats or cholesterol. Other reasons can be:

- The hereditary problems connected with inability of organism to process cholesterol.

Why is high level of cholesterol in blood dangerous?

The increased level of cholesterol does not cause any symptoms; therefore many people do not suspect they have too high cholesterol level in blood. Surplus of cholesterol is accumulated at the walls of arteries and cause formation of plaques, which narrow vessels. Thus develops the atherosclerosis. Big plaques or complicated plaques with blood clots can completely block arteries that hinder from blood flow. Thus delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues is broken; it leads to their dying off.

It causes development of heart attack or brain insult.

What factors raise risk of cardiovascular diseases’ development?

High arterial pressure, smoking, excess weight, high level of cholesterol, inert way of life, diabetes, hypertrophy of heart, renal diseases, excess use of kitchen salt.

To conduct active way of life, to stop smoking, learn to manage stress, to reduce excess weight.

However diets and physical exercises can be insufficient for effective decrease of cholesterol level. There are preparations which help to reduce amount of harmful cholesterol.
