Is there a cholesterol problem in the body? How to understand, let’s know

New Delhi: Cholesterol consists of two types. One is good, the other is bad. Bad cholesterol can cause many serious problems in our body. In fact, the liver makes up 75 per cent of the cholesterol our body needs. The remaining 25 per cent is available from food. Many cholesterol is beneficial for our body though some cholesterol also harms our body. Even density lipoproteins can accumulate in the arteries leading to problems like heart attack, stroke, etc.

Symptoms of leg pain
An increase in bad cholesterol can reduce blood flow to the lower part of the body including the legs and feet. A person suffering from PAD does not get enough blood supply in the legs or arms (usually the legs). As a result, walking causes leg pain. This is also known as ‘claudication’. If not treated on time, the condition can lead to serious complications.
