High blood cholesterol affects over 65 million Americans. It is a serious condition and can increase your risk for heart disease. Lowering cholesterol levels decreases your risk for heart disease, reduces the chance of having a heart attack, or dying of heart disease. Some can have high cholesterol and not know it, so eating right and taking care of your heart are always important. Cardio is your friend!
