Cholesterol is a fat-like substance which is formed in the human body. Cholesterol should be balanced to lead a healthy life. When the blood contains too much of cholesterol the excess cholesterol gets deposited on the inner lining of the artery wall. This reduces the space in the artery and thickens and hardens the artery.
