Cholesterol is a fatty substance found in your blood. It's produced naturally in the liver and can also be found in some foods. We need some cholesterol to stay healthy, however when our cholesterol levels are too high this can increase your risk of heart and circulatory diseases, such as heart attacks and strokes. You can lower your cholesterol by making changes to your lifestyle, including your diet. If you are worried about your cholesterol levels then ensure you contact your GP.
