Cholesterol is an important component of many cells in the body. If cholesterol levels are too high, this is not noticeable for the time being.
Only at extremely high values do physical signs become visible. Causes of high cholesterol are versatile. Triggers are, for example, obesity, diabetes, poor nutrition and smoking. Vegetables, nuts, fruits and oils with a high proportion of unsaturated fatty acids should often end up on the plate. On Cholesterol Day, June 3, attention should also be drawn to this.
