Experts have identified prominent signs of high cholesterol in the body.
The disorder can be indicated by yellowish thickenings that appear on the hands and feet due to the accumulation of cholesterol in the subcutaneous layer, writes the "Daily Mirror", based on materials from the British Heart Foundation and the opinion of cardiometabolic health expert Sarah Berry. They are located on the knees, knuckles and the back of the ankles. Small yellowish growths may also appear on the inner edge of the eye.
If an increase in cholesterol levels is caused by diet, the expert recommends starting treatment by adjusting the menu, for example, eating oatmeal for breakfast.
