High Cholesterol Can Sneak Up On You
High cholesterol. You can't see it or hear it. You may feel just fine. But when your cholesterol sneaks up above a desirable level, it puts you at increased risk for heart attack, heart disease, stroke, and other cardiovascular diseases. Combine high cholesterol with other heart risks (such as having a family history of heart disease, being a man over 45 or a woman over 55 years old, being a smoker, or having high blood pressure or diabetes), and you could be in for even more trouble. What can you do? Keep this soft fatlike substance called cholesterol under control by following this guide for low-cholesterol living.
