What causes chloresterol?

Cholesterol is a natural part of your bodily system. It is required to build and maintain membranes. However, when your LDL levels increase, it can lead to dangerous heart problems as the fat cells adhere to the artery walls, blocking them. Elevated cholesterol levels are treated with a strict diet consisting of low saturated fat, trans fat-free, low cholesterol foods, often followed by a statin drug. A high quality fish oil helps to regulate your cholesterol, preventing the build up in the artery walls.
