National Cholesterol Month
At MBF Personal Training we’re supporting National Cholesterol Month in 2014. This year it focusing on raising awareness of developing healthy habits as part of their ‘Great Cholesterol Challenge’. So what is cholesterol?
For those that don’t know, it’s a waxy substance that clogs the arteries and cause them to narrow. This forces the heart to work extra hard and if the arteries become completely blocked, this can result in a heart attack.
There will be various activities taking place on every day during the awareness month.
During National Cholesterol Month there are many event around the country so why don’t you join up to one of the many challenges to help HEART UK raise vital funds.
HEART UK are spreading the word to let as many people as possible know about the dangers of inherited high cholesterol (IHC). Their aim is to save lives and “keep young hearts running”.
So … it’s all about raising awareness because once IHC is diagnosed it is fairly easy to treat with a healthy diet, plenty of exercise and medication. However, lifestyle changes – including a healthy diet and more exercise are something that we should all aspire to!
If you want to get involved and help raise awareness during National Cholesterol Month all you have to do is order one of the fundraising packs. And for more information on cholesterol, go to the National Cholesterol Month website. Continue reading →
