How does cholesterol contribute to heart disease?
It’s not like poor hygiene causes heart disease, but cholesterol does play a serious role. Cholesterol is something that your body needs to function properly, but if you have too much cholesterol in your bloodstream it will lead to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis will eventually cause angina, which is chest pain when not enough oxygen in the blood reaches the heart, or heart attack. Prevention can occur when one gets serious about their lifestyle choices.
