Cholesterol is a fat-like substrate discovered in all the cells in your body. Your body requires some cholesterol to make hormone levels, vitamin D, and beneficial compounds you digest food. Your body produces all the cholesterol you deserve. Cholesterol is also present in foods from animal sources, such as egg yolks, meat, and cheese. If you have too much cholesterol in your blood, it can be combined with other materials in your blood to form a plaque. Plaque is sticking to the walls of your arteries. This plate buildup is identified as atherosclerosis. It can lead to coronary artery disease, where your coronary arteries are narrowed or even obstructed.
