Including more fatty foods in your diet increases your unhealthy cholesterol, which increases your risk of serious diseases like heart attack and diabetes. The best way to avoid these problems is to be aware of your high cholesterol in time.

 

When cholesterol levels rise, fat begins to build up in the arteries near the heart, causing problems with blood flow, leading to heart attacks and strokes. In addition to eating healthy food, you should exercise every day. Otherwise, fat will start to build up in your body’s veins from the calories you don’t burn.

 

How do I know if I have high cholesterol?

 

An increase in cholesterol levels is detected by a blood lipid profile test. Angiography shows how the arteries of the heart are blocked.  If there is a blockage in the brain, angiography of the cranial nerves is required.
