SIGNS OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Unhealthy lifestyle choices are frequently the cause of high cholesterol. It can be prevented and treated with healthy diet and regular exercise.

Here are some risk factors linked to high cholesterol

A diet high in trans or saturated fats may raise blood cholesterol levels dangerously.

High cholesterol is a possibility if your body mass index (BMI) is 30 or higher.

Excessive alcohol consumption can raise total cholesterol. 

Some hormones, like corticosteroids, can rise in response to stress. These may lead to an increase in cholesterol production in your body.

Smoking can result in elevated cholesterol levels and artery tar accumulation, which facilitates cholesterol binding to arterial walls.
