6 Health Hacks to Keep Your Cholesterol Levels in Check

Know when your cholesterol numbers are turning dangerous and intervene well in time in the right way.

Cholesterol counts are getting scarier. Very often even for seemingly fit people the numbers come out rather crooked. Reasons for this can be multiple and are often beyond the realms of diet and what we eat.

First, it is important to understand what cholesterol actually is. It is in fact a waxy, fat-like substance present in every cell of our body, which flows through the blood vessels without causing any damage.

What renders it ‘harmful’ is the state where the cholesterol gets oxidised and slowly builds up in the inner walls of the arteries and form a thick, hard deposit that can clog those arteries and trigger heart attacks and strokes.
