Cholesterol is often mentioned in conversations about health, especially heart health, but many people don’t fully understand what cholesterol is or why keeping an eye on it is so important. Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance found in every body cell. It is vital in producing hormones, vitamin D, and substances that help digest food. While the body needs some cholesterol to function properly, having too much in the blood can pose serious health risks.
