Medical experts describe high cholesterol as a silent problem that grows in the body for years without any apparent symptoms, but over time can pose serious risks to the heart, brain, and other vital organs. According to experts, cholesterol is actually a fat-like substance that is present in the blood. There are two main types of cholesterol, one called “good” or HDL and the other called “bad” or LDL. Because of this silence, it is also called the “silent killer” because it does not immediately show symptoms such as pain or weakness. According to experts, a few simple lifestyle changes can be effective in preventing high cholesterol.
