Hey scholars! Learn about the medical implications of high …

High cholesterol is an excess of fats in the blood. The liver produces a healthy baseline level of cholesterol to help the body digest food, but levels can sky-rocket when consuming foods high in “saturated fats” and “trans fats”.

A build up of cholesterol in the blood can harden and form plaques in our arteries, obstructing blood flow to vital organs, such as the brain (causing a stroke) and the heart (causing a heart attack). Risk factors for high cholesterol include poor diet, obesity, and lack of exercise.
