Do you have cholesterol? Of course, you do. Every cell of the body has it and some amount of it is essential for us. It is made by our liver and it is also present in some foods such as dairy products, eggs, and meats. The problem arises when the cholesterol levels in our body goes beyond what we need (hypercholesterolemia). The excess cholesterol triggers the deposit of ?plaques? in your blood vessels, putting you at increased risk for heart disease and stroke. Fortunately, the right diet, physical activity and medicines can bring down your cholesterol levels within normal limits
