Cholesterol is made in your liver and travels through your bloodstream. There are two main types: LDL (“bad”) and HDL (“good”). LDL can build up in your arteries, raising blood pressure and increasing the risk of heart attack or stroke. HDL helps remove LDL from your arteries. Eating a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and rich in fruits and vegetables, can lower LDL and boost HDL, reducing your risk of heart problems. #newyears #hearthealth #cholesterol
