Cholesterol is the main steroid in the body that helps in the production of hormones, the digestive process, and the building of cell membranes. Most cholesterol is produced in the body (in the liver, small intestine, and adrenal gland) and only a quarter of its amount enters the body with food.

The high level of cholesterol in the blood leads to the development of plaques and the blockage of blood vessels, which leads to the formation of blood clots, which leads to serious consequences and even death.

In order to maintain a normal level of cholesterol in the blood, linden flowers and flax seeds can be used, as well as fresh vegetables and fruits, garlic, cinnamon and turmeric.

It is very important to reduce the consumption of animal fats and sweets.

Exercise and physical activity, along with stopping smoking and stopping alcohol, help lower cholesterol levels in the blood.
