Buy AumSum Merchandise: What is Cholesterol Cholesterol is a waxy, fatlike substance. It is present in all the cells of our body. Cholesterol is extremely important as our body needs it to build cells, vitamins, hormones as well as substances that help in digestion. Our Liver makes all the Cholesterol needed by us. But sometimes, our eating habits can force our liver to make more Cholesterol than necessary. As a result, there is too much Cholesterol in our blood. It combines with other substances and forms a thick, hard deposit on the inside of our arteries. As a result, our arteries become narrow, increasing the risk of heart disease or stroke. The most common cause for high cholesterol is an unhealthy lifestyle, i. e: Unhealthy eating habits, Lack of physical activity, and smoking.
