There are two types of Cholesterol that we're concerned with, LDL and HDL. LDL, the bad cholesterol should be minimized and HDL, the GOOD cholesterol should be increased.
Diet and exercise are important in controlling TOTAL cholesterol as well as lowering LDL and improving HDL. There is a positive correlation between elevated LDL ratio and buildup of arterial plaque. It also turns out that increasing your HDL correlates with lower arterial plaque; it seems to actually REMOVE plaque.
The LDL or bad cholesterol as it is referred to can lead to or increase the mentioned arterial plaque which can lead a person to having health complications such as a heart attack or stroke. This can be further complicated for people that already have various health issues, such as Diabetes and the elderly, etc.
