Cholesterol is essential for the functioning of the body, but its excess is an indicator of cardiovascular and other serious diseases.

According to experts, cholesterol is present in the cell membranes of all animals. It ensures the membrane is resistant to temperature and is also required to produce vitamin D and various steroid hormones. It occurs in the body through food intake.

As a result of very high cholesterol levels in the body, lipomas may form under the skin, and light gray circles appear on the iris. According to American University professors, heart, lung, and blood diseases are mainly caused due to high cholesterol. They also noted that only doctors could determine cholesterol in the body.

Doctors recommend that people over 50 go to a medical facility once a year for a cholesterol test to reduce the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other health problems. Doctors also advise everyone to abstain from smoking, eat healthy and exercise more.
