The Benefits
Lowering your cholesterol can reduce your risk of heart disease – and can help you live a longer, healthier life. The higher your cholesterol level, the greater your risk. That’s why it is so important to find out your cholesterol levels as early as possible.
You can lower your cholesterol by:
- eating foods low in saturated fat, trans fat, and cholesterol
- getting active
- controlling your weight
You may also need a special diet or medication – talk to your doctor.
