A routine check-up includes Cholesterol, Triglycerides & Glucose

"˜An indication of heart disease & diabetes risk"

Cholesterol is necessary for building and maintaining key parts of your cells and for making several essential hormones. Excess cholesterol can form plaque between layers of artery walls, making it harder for your heart to circulate blood.

LDL cholesterol is considered the "bad" cholesterol be-cause it contributes to plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can clog arteries and make them less flexible.

HDL cholesterol is considered "good" cholesterol be-cause it helps remove LDL cholesterol from the arteries.

Triglycerides are fats (lipids). Any excess food you take is stored in the form of triglycerides.

Glucose is a carbohydrate that provides energy to our body. Excess Glucose indicates Diabetes and pre-Diabetes risk.
