A medical expert has given advice on how to reduce cholesterol levels.
Dr Elizabeth Klodas has recommended some important diet swaps that could help reduce the risks of a common 'silent killer'. Cholesterol can combine with other substances in the bloodstream, resulting in fatty deposits which can clog arteries.
This can make it harder for blood to flow, and according to the Mayo Clinic can result in serious problems such as strokes and heart attacks. The Mirror has said this can come from being overweight, smoking, and not exercising enough.
