Reducing Cholesterol Risk

• Have a Lipoprotein Profile conducted while fasting to determine what your Total, LDL, and HDL cholesterol levels are.
• Use an ATP (Adult treatment panel) III Assessment Tool to calculate your risk for heart disease.
• Discuss your overall risk with your doctor. He or she will be able to provide you with a solid plan of reducing or eliminating any risks.
• Stay away from food made with saturated fats and look for unsaturated or vegetable oils instead.
• Do some physical exercise. If you cant strain yourself with intense exercise, a brisk walk could be a huge benefit.
• Smoking is extremely hard on the heart and overall health. It is better to give up the habit.
• Use a natural cholesterol supplement, such as Vasacor.
• Use a Home Cholesterol Test to determine your cholesterol levels.
