There are two types of cholesterol in the body:
1. High Density Lipoproteins (HDL) = Good Cholesterol
2. Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL) = Bad Cholesterol

Here is some basic information you should know about cholesterol:

• Too much cholesterol in the blood, or high cholesterol, can be serious. People with high cholesterol are at risk of getting heart disease. This can lead to a heart attack or stroke.
• Only about 25% of cholesterol comes from the foods you eat. The other 75% is made by the body. Factors such as age and family history affect how much cholesterol your body makes and it can rise as you get older.
• People with high cholesterol usually have no symptoms. But it can be detected with a blood test. These tests can also help your doctor predict what your risk for heart disease may be.
• LDL or bad cholesterol can build up in the arteries preventing blood from getting to your heart, while HDL or good cholesterol carries LDL cholesterol away from the artery walls.
