September is Cholesterol Education Month, a time to focus on keeping our hearts healthy. Too much cholesterol in the blood can build up in arteries and raise the risk of heart disease and stroke. The good news is that small, simple changes can make a big difference.
Why Cholesterol Matters
Cholesterol itself is not bad. Our bodies need it. But when levels get too high, it can cause serious health problems. Managing cholesterol means lowering the chance of heart attack or stroke and having more energy to enjoy life.
Steps to Protect Your Heart
- Get your numbers checked: Regular screenings help you know where you stand.
- Eat smart: Choose more fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
- Move your body: Even 20–30 minutes of daily activity helps lower cholesterol.
- Take medicines as directed: If your doctor prescribes medication, taking it as recommended is important.
