An important part of treating your high cholesterol is first understanding what it means. According to the Mayo Clinic, cholesterol is a waxy substance. If someone has high levels of cholesterol they are at risk for the waxy substance to build up over time and cause fat deposits.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These fat deposits then put patients at risk of blockage of blood vessels, heart attacks, and
strokes. The good news is there are many ways to reduce high cholesterol as well as prevent it.
The two main categories of treatment, lifestyle modification and pharmacologic interventions,
are discussed below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
