You've heard the old adage - what you don't know, can't hurt you. When it comes to knowing your cholesterol levels, what you do know can save your life. High cholesterol affects everyone — every age, race, fitness level and weight. Almost half of Americans over the age of 20 have unsafe cholesterol levels (over 200 mg/dL) and many are not aware that they may be at risk. While diets high in fat and a lack of regular fitness activity often lead to high cholesterol levels, many of the causes are beyond our control. Heredity, age and stress level also contribute to unhealthy cholesterol levels. If you haven't had your cholesterol checked, we suggest you request a screening at your next physician appointment. If you need more incentive, read the facts about cholesterol or take the Cholesterol and Heart Health Index quiz to measure your risk.
