Cholesterol is implicated in the production of heart attacks. It’s the main ingredient of atheroma, the fatty deposit in the arteries that clogs them and obstructs the flow of blood in them. The deposit comes from cholesterol circulating in the blood. Cholesterol circulates in the blood in combination with lipoproteins of varying densities. Physical activity and exercise raise the level of HDL-C in the blood. Small amounts of alcohol also raise HDL-C level. HDL is nothing but High Density Lipoprotein. Cigarette smoking, sloth and physical inactivity lower the good cholesterol and raise the bad cholesterol and are therefore risk factors for the heart.
