Cholesterol is the fatty substance circulating in the blood which is produced by the liver. The substance is necessary for our body, but, it will be a problem having excessive cholesterol especially circulating in the heart and brain blood vessels.

Everyone does have cholesterol circulating in their blood. The source is 80% produced by the body and 20% comes from food consumed. There are two kinds of cholesterol, HDL and LDL.

LDL is the bad one. If we have excessive LDL circulating inside our blood, it will be precipitated on the wall of blood vessel which interfere its flow.

HDL is the good cholesterol functioning as the filter of the excessive LDL. The high rate of HDL is good news as long as the LDL is below 150 mg/dl.

There is Triglyceride fat which is produced from the food metabolism. It is an excessive fat produced when we consume unnecessary energy from food.  

Why can the high blood cholesterol be dangerous?

The high blood cholesterol is one of the factors causing these health problems:

1. Stoppage/plaque of the heart blood vessel which can cause heart attack.

2. Stoppage/plaque of the brain blood vessel which can cause stroke.

LDL cholesterol <150 mg/dl

Triglyceride < 200 mg/dl

Total cholesterol ratio: HDL cholesterol <5
