This October, HEART UK are raising awareness about the effects of high cholesterol. Did you know that 1 in 2 adults in the UK have high cholesterol?<\/strong> It\u2019s more common than you think \u2014 but that doesn\u2019t mean it has to be out of your control. Be the boss of your cholesterol<\/strong>. Take charge of your health with small, manageable changes that can make a big difference \u2014 from eating heart-friendly foods and staying active, to checking in with your GP. Knowing your numbers is the first step toward feeling your best.\u200b You can find out more at https:\/\/www.heartuk.org.uk\/national-cholesterol-month\/ncm25<\/a><\/p>\n

Cholesterol is a natural fatty substance in your blood, which is important in keeping our bodies cells healthy. However, if you have too much cholesterol, it can increase the risk of having a heart attack or a stroke. Anyone can have high cholesterol, it can be caused by different things some you can control and others you cannot. Fortunately, there are lots of ways to lower your cholesterol including doing regular exercise, cutting down on alcohol and cigarette consumption and eating less of the foods which increase cholesterol. https:\/\/www.bhf.org.uk\/informationsupport\/risk-factors\/high-cholesterol<\/a><\/p>\n
