Genetics
Some individuals are genetically predisposed to have a high buildup of cholesterol regardless of the food intake or lifestyle habits. The genes that control the processing of cholesterol and fats are passed down from parents to children. Parents who have high cholesterol have high chances of passing down the condition to their kids. If your parents have problems with high cholesterol, it is best that you conduct regular checkups and be mindful of what you eat because your genetic predisposition makes you a high target for high cholesterol build up.
