Cholesterol is a type of fat that is very important for the body. It serves as a precursor for the synthesis of bile, sex hormones, hormones from the adrenal glands, and is also a component of cell membranes and nerve sheaths.

If cholesterol levels are too high, it can accumulate on the walls of arteries, thickening them and narrowing the arterial lumen. This can lead to blockages that prevent sufficient blood flow to vital organs, resulting in symptoms such as chest pain from insufficient blood supply to the heart or strokes due to inadequate blood flow to the brain. To manage high cholesterol or high blood fats, it is advisable to avoid foods high in cholesterol and reduce the intake of high-fat foods.
