LDL Cholesterol

LDL cholesterol, or low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, is often referred to as "bad" cholesterol. It carries cholesterol from the liver to the cells in your body. When there's too much LDL in the bloodstream, it can build up on the walls of arteries, leading to narrowing and increasing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Maintaining healthy levels of LDL cholesterol is important for cardiovascular health, and this can be achieved through a balanced diet, regular exercise, and, if necessary, medication. Regular check-ups can help monitor and manage cholesterol levels effectively.
