The impact of hypercholesterolemia (or high cholesterol) on your health

Hypercholesterolemia is a chronic cholesterol-related disease. Cholesterol is produced by our body and is also found in many foods that we eat. It is essential for the synthesis of many hormones that our body needs. When too much of this fatty substance accumulates in the vessels, and more generally in the blood, it risks causing serious complications for the body, generating a number of cardiovascular diseases.
