What is "silent" cholesterol and why is it dangerous?

07May

Cholesterol is not just about fatty foods and excess weight.

High cholesterol can go unnoticed for years while silently damaging your heart and blood vessels every day. That’s why it’s often called the “silent enemy.”

What happens with high cholesterol?

– Atherosclerotic plaques form
– Blood vessels narrow
– Blood supply to organs is disrupted
– Risk of heart attack and stroke increases

It's especially important to monitor cholesterol if you have:

✅ A family history of cardiovascular disease
✅ High blood pressure
✅ Excess weight
✅ Smoking or a sedentary lifestyle

You can check your cholesterol with a blood test (lipid profile).

And even if it’s high — it’s not a sentence.

A balanced diet, physical activity, and, if necessary, medication can improve your cholesterol and your overall health.
