**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.

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 ?
