Why is Cholesterol Important? |
| |
|
| |
Cholesterol is separated into two types. One type of cholesterol is a significant contributor to heart disease, while the other is instrumental in preventing it. Arrowhead Health's FirstLine Therapy® for Lowering Cholesterol recognizes the importance of maintaining a balance between the two types of cholesterol. |

Low-Density Lipoprotein (LDL): |
| |
|
| |
|
 |
Gets most of the attention as the “bad cholesterol.” |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Is produced by the liver and from the foods you eat. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Excess amounts can form a plaque inside the arteries surrounding the heart (as a result, the heart must work harder to circulate blood through the body causing blood pressure to rise). |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
If LDL cholesterol levels are consistently high and left unchecked, the plaque can block the artery completely, increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke. |
| |
|
|
|
| |
|
|
Millions of Americans have dangerously high cholesterol levels. High cholesterol has no symptoms. Only a blood test can determine whether cholesterol levels are unhealthy. |
