The body requires only small amounts of cholesterol to function normally, and excess amounts may be deposited in artery walls throughout the body. Cholesterol is a waxy substance your body needs to produce certain hormones and to build the outer membrane of every cell. Too much of it can build up in your blood vessels and raise your risk of:
- heart disease
- stroke
- atherosclerosis, a clogging or hardening of your arteries
