Importance of testing for cholesterol

Testing blood cholesterol levels provides a good indication of general health. Maintaining too high of a cholesterol level (>6.5 mmol/litre) can become harmful over time. By regularly testing one’s blood cholesterol levels, potential harm can be avoided by being able to react to negative results in good time. Importantly, ´these tests can easily be performed at home which obviates the need for a doctor’s appointment.
