Cholesterol is a building block of our cells and hormones. It also ensures the repair of damaged cell walls. This fatty substance is therefore of vital importance. You get it through your food, but the largest part is produced by your liver. Is the cholesterol level in your blood too high? Then this can lead to various cardiovascular diseases.

If you are not genetically predisposed, you can influence your cholesterol levels through your lifestyle. For example, eat more unsaturated fats instead of saturated fats, eat enough fiber, exercise regularly and avoid stress.

A healthy lifestyle and a varied, balanced diet are important.
