What Will Lowering High Blood Cholesterol Do?
Lowering your high blood cholesterol level will slow fatty build up in the walls of the arteries and reduce your risk of a heart attack and death caused by heart attack. In fact, some studies have shown that in adults with “high” cholesterol levels, for each one percent reduction in total cholesterol levels, there is a two percent reduction in the number of heart attacks. In other words, if you reduce your cholesterol level 15 percent, your risk of coronary heart disease could drop by 30 percent.
