If you don’t know what your cholesterol number is you may be living in a life of fantasy because you may thing your ok and you may not be. There is no way to tell what your body is doing inside and you don’t have to be really overweight to have high cholesterol. I am only 37 years old and I am 5’ 7” and I weigh 153 pounds so I thought ok I have a few pounds of fat to lose but I never thought I would have a problem with my cholesterol and be in danger of having a heart attack.

I just thought I was a little overweight and needed to exercise a little more to lose the weight I wanted to and I would be fine but that was not what happened I had to go in to the doctor for something and my doctor decided to check my cholesterol and it was way high I guess all those fried foods and things just caught up with me and I had to quit. I had to go on a very restrictive diet and I had to go on a cholesterol lowering pill to help me lower my cholesterol. If you want more information you can go to www.americanheart.org
