Easy steps to reducing your cholesterol

There are two types of cholesterol: low-density lipoprotein (LDL), which is bad for you, and high-density lipoprotein (HDL), which is helpful. There are steps you can take to decrease your LDL levels and raise the level of HDL in your blood. Controlling your cholesterol in this way can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and disease of the arteries, which can cause heart attack and stroke.
