How to take your home blood test

 

 

“Cholesterol deposits start to slowly build up within our arteries from the day we are born. Genetics can play apart but what we eat also directly impacts the amount of cholesterol deposits over time.

By monitoring and actively lowering our cholesterol with better nutrition and lifestyle choices we can reduce the risks of cardiovascular diseases such as hypertension (high blood pressure), heart attacks and strokes.

Simply keeping an eye on your cholesterol is key to lowering your cardiovascular risk factors and in turn, will reduce the chances of these illnesses as you get older. “
