Understanding Cholesterol: What You Need to Know
Cholesterol plays an essential role in our bodies, but too much of the “bad” cholesterol, known as low-density lipoprotein (LDL), can lead to serious health problems, including heart disease and stroke. The CDC reports that almost 25 million American adults have high cholesterol. That’s why regular cholesterol checks are important—and Fast Pace clinics are here to help make it easy for you.
