13. A health agency has issued an article about diseases caused by cholesterol.
Causes of High Cholesterol in the Body
Food
Eating too much fat such as animal fat for example,
beef, milk, eggs, butter and cheese.
Body weight
The body weight affects the cholesterol content in the body. If you are
overweight, the risk of high cholesterol is great.
Daily activities
The activities in life influence the health of our bodies. If we do not like to carry
out exercise, our cholesterol levels will increase and this will lead to weight gain.
Ancestry
People who have hereditary high cholesterol will have the potential for high
cholesterol.
(a) Animal fat contains a high percentage of saturated fat. Why is saturated fat bad for the
body?
