Cholesterol
read moreDid you know that cholesterol comes from two sources, food and family history? Most of the cholesterol in your blood is made by your own body; only about 25% of blood cholesterol comes from the food you eat. Typically high cholesterol has no direct symptoms, but cholesterol may still do damage to blood vessels. When blood flows through vessels, it carries many important things the body needs to functions such as oxygen and cholesterol. So, problems with blood vessels can lead to heart disease and stroke.
Diabetes
read moreMost of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies. When you have diabetes, your body either doesn't make enough insulin or can't use its own insulin as well as it should. This causes sugars to build up in your blood. Insulin dependant or Type 1 is when the pancreas makes little or no insulin because the insulin producing beta cells have been destroyed.
