High cholesterol levels put you at risk for heart disease and cardiovascular problems such as heart attack and stroke. Cholesterol is a waxy substance that is produced by the liver, but we get most of the cholesterol in our blood through the foods that we eat. Cholesterol can build up in the blood vessels if we produce and consume more than we use, and it causes the vessels to be narrow and difficult for blood to pass through. Triglycerides are fats in the blood that act in a similar way, clogging blood vessels if there are more in your blood than your body can use and store.
