    Cholesterol is a fatty substance produced by the liver and found in some foods. There are two main types of cholesterol - LDL (bad) and HDL (good). A high level of cholesterol in the blood can lead to plaque buildup in arteries and increased risk of heart attack and stroke. Factors that influence cholesterol levels include diet, weight, family history, smoking, exercise, age, and gender. Managing cholesterol involves eating a diet low in cholesterol and saturated fat by limiting foods like red meat, full-fat dairy, and coconut. Fiber, unsaturated fats, and maintaining a healthy weight also help lower cholesterol.
