When I was young, my mother used to cook pork fat until it produces lard, a semi soft fat with a high saturated fatty acid content with no transfats. Then she will let it curd to a fatty white substance.I enjoy mixing it with a very hot rice with a sprinkle of salt to taste. It was the best for me at that time.
Maybe this is the reason why I now have hypertension.
Now, I take note of what I eat. If possible, less rice, less salt, more vegetables & fish.

Being overweight or obese can also lead to higher blood LDL levels. Regular exercise may help manage this risk factor.
The primary causes of high cholesterol are genetic – very high LDL levels are found in the inherited condition familial hypercholesterolemia.
Abnormal cholesterol levels can also arise due to other conditions:
diabetes
liver or kidney disease
polycystic ovary syndrome
pregnancy and other conditions that increase levels of female hormones
underactive thyroid gland
drugs that increase LDL cholesterol and decrease HDL cholesterol (progestins, anabolic steroids, and corticosteroids)
