Food for Thought : September is National Cholesterol Education Month

Tina Moser confers with her children Noah and Lydia in the dairy aisle while shopping for the family at Brookshire's on Line Avenue recently (Shreveport , Louisiana).

When Tina Moser is planning her family’s meals, she turns to grocery store circulars and sales for help in deciding what’s for dinner
 
**September is National Cholesterol Education Month (NCEM)
Cholesterol is essential for building cells  , helping your body  digest  and absorb fat  and can even  play a role model in building  healthy bones .
However , too much of it  is not a good thing . Choleaterol  is the stuff  that can lead to fatty deposit  in your blood  vessela  that can reduce blood flow  and cause a heart attack  or stroke . Here are a few tips to help you celebrate  National Cholesterol Month in a healthy way :

1 . Have your cholesterol checked  by your doctor  . Make sure  you discuss  ant medication  you are taking  and your family history .

2. Exerise  regularly . Getting plenty  of physical  activity  can help you lower  your cholesterol levels .

3. Maintain a healthy weight  . Being  overweight  can raise  your cholesterol  levels . Losing weight  can lower  your cholesterol .

4. If you smoke  , quit as soon as possible.

5. Eat a healthy  diet . Diets high in saturated  fats  and trans fats  can lead to high cholesterol .

Words of Wisdom;
When your out go  exceeds your inflow , your over-head becomes your downfall.
Always smile; it increases your face value .
you may be disappointed if you fail , but you are doomed if you don't try . Occasionally , failure is the price of improvement , is it not so ?
