Answer :

Cholesterol is a substance in the body that makes up the fats and lipids that circulate through the blood stream. As a person ages this cholesterol begins to deposit on arteries so that they become harder over time. The only way to check the level of your cholesterol is by a blood test done at your doctor office.
