Our lifestyle has changed completely, hasn't it? We all live in an era where we actually have no time to look after our health.
The only thing that we run after at the moment is money.
We get up early in the morning, rush to work, eat junk, work like crazy, skip our physical exercises, grab some more junk while returning home, and sleep, without paying any attention to what our body needs.
Weekends are the worst.
We get drunk and eat some more junk with our family members.
If you too follow the same lifestyle, get your cholesterol levels checked.
Cholesterol is not a major thing, but if not paid attention and brought down at the right time, it may turn into something serious.
I am here to tell you the following eight things about this compound:

1. Many people believe that only the obese population has this problem.
   But it has got nothing to do with your weight.
   It depends on your eating habits and the way you burn what you eat by getting indulged in different physical activities.
   
2. There are two different types of cholesterol - one that is good and the other that is bad.
   People must have the good one in order to stay healthy and fit.
   
3. There are many natural remedies for high cholesterol, which can be read on the internet.
   If you don't wish to consume any medicines, you can control the levels by following some home remedies.
   
4. Almost 75% of population in the world has increased levels of this compound.
   
5. Higher the levels of this problem, higher the chances of heart risks for the person.
   Thus, it is essential for an individual to control this problem as soon as he finds out about the same.
   
6. Some of the individuals with this issue are not able to get rid of it no matter how hard they try.
   They perform all sorts of exercises, eat the right stuff, and yet find it difficult to fight the problem.
   
7. This is something that may surprise you, but you can find out if a person has this issue by looking at his eyes.
   If an individual has severe cadmium yellow and pinkish lines in the corners of his eyes, he surely has higher levels of this compound.
   
8. Just like increased levels are risky, so are the decreased levels.
   You must know how to balance between the good and the bad ones so that your body is healthy enough to survive.
