High Cholesterol Presentation Summary
As you have seen from this presentation, cholesterol is not a bad thing. It does serve a very important purpose in keeping the body healthy.
Unfortunately, some people who have high cholesterol choose to ignore it, because there are no obvious symptoms. Having high levels of cholesterol for long periods of time can greatly increase your risk of serious medical problems, like heart disease, a stroke, atherosclerosis and other heart and blood vessel problems.
Even though it is a serious problem, commitment and care from you and your healthcare providers can help control high cholesterol. You now have a lot of information about this condition, which includes treatments such as making lifestyle changes, and possibly taking medication. Whatever the approach you take or the condition you're in, making a life-long commitment to lower your high cholesterol is a very worthy goal.
