    Cholesterol is a fatty substance necessary for life, but too much builds up in arteries and increases heart disease risk. About 33-60 people die daily in South Africa from heart attacks and strokes related to high cholesterol. Cholesterol levels are rising. To control cholesterol, one should exercise, lose weight, eat well, manage blood pressure and blood sugar, and stop smoking. Cholesterol exists in LDL ('bad') and HDL ('good') forms, and high LDL combined with low HDL increases disease risk. Triglyceride levels also impact health if too high.

    THE FATS OF LIFE

    !
    THE FATS
    Cholesterol is a necessary fatty substance in the blood. However,
    when there is too much cholesterol in the blood, it builds up on
    the walls of your arteries and increases your risk for heart disease.
    About 33 people die per day as a result of heart attack, and
    approximately 60 die per day due to stroke. Cholesterol levels are
    on the rise in South Africa.
