Be Aware of Your Cholesterol Levels

Heart disease is the biggest killer in the UK

, so any support in getting the message out so we can all be aware of our cholesterol levels, and take preventative measures to avoid the risk factors which lead to high cholesterol - and the consequential probability of heart disease - is fantastic.

We only have one body - and one heart - and so we need to respect this, by being aware of what goes into our body, and the consequences of poor diet, low exercise levels, and inadequate supplementation (in today's over processed world, gm crops and food additives, some essential minerals or vitamins may be lacking). Small changes can have great consequences, so start looking at prevention. And if you already suffer with high cholesterol, there are supplements and diet changes which can have a beneficial effect on lowering it. Any supplement which contains essential fatty acids - omega's 3 or 6 - will be a st art on prevention or mitigation. We have all heard of cod liver oil, or primrose oil, but high concentrations are also found in flax seed, which can be used to dress salads or as an oil to cook with, or I bet you might not have heard of chia seed oil - the highest plant source of Omega 3. Or even green tea! Green tea Lowers LDL cholesterol, levels of lipid peroxides, and a fibrinogen - a blood protein which assists in the formation of blood clots.

So, be aware of your heart, and be pro-active in keeping it healthy. We are all masters of our own destinies - make yours a healthy and long-lived one. And if anyone out there has their own story relating to heart health, please feel free to comment on this and add your own experiences.
