Hot Topic

Cholesterol seems to be in the news often, but isn’t always adequately explained. Invite professionals to come and shed some light on the subject by leading a class. Ask them to tell what cholesterol is, where it comes from, and how levels can be managed. In addition, have them address the pros and cons of cholesterol-lowering medications. Give all attendees “6 Steps To
A Healthy Heart” Bookmarks; they feature recommendations on cholesterol testing. Also hand out Healthy Heart Nutrition & Fitness Guides For Women, which have information about controlling cholesterol through diet and exercise.
