HIGH BLOOD ( HAYBLAD )

High blood pressure is a serious condition that can take to coronary heart diseases heart, failure, stroke, kidney failure, and other health problems.

Cholesterol is found in every cell in our body. Cholesterol is used by our body to build healthy cells, as well as some vital hormones.

When we have high cholesterol, we may develop fatty deposits in our blood vessels. Eventually, these deposits make it difficult for enough blood to flow through our arteries. Our heart may not get as much oxygen-rich blood as it needs, which increases the risk of a heart attack. Decreased blood flow to our brain can cause a stroke.

High cholesterol is largely preventable and treatable. A healthy diet, regular exercise and sometimes medication can go a long way toward reducing high cholesterol.
