5 Easy Ways to Lower Cholesterol

Cholesterol gets a bad press, but we do need some of it to manufacture cells, produce certain hormones and for digestion. What we don’t need though is too much of it! Specifically, we don’t want too much ‘bad’ cholesterol, because this ‘furs up’ the arteries, preventing healthy blood flow and making heart attacks and strokes more likely.

  • Leap to low fat

  • Fill up with fibre

  • Enjoy exercise

  • Go for garlic

  • Opt for omega 3
