Why Regular Cholesterol Screening Matters
Keeping an eye on your cholesterol is one of the best things you can do for your heart. Striking the right balance between LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and HDL (“good” cholesterol) helps protect you from heart disease and keeps you feeling your best.
Small lifestyle changes—like eating a balanced diet, staying active, and quitting smoking—can make a big difference. Sometimes medication plays a role too. Regular screening keeps you informed, so you can take steps that truly support your long-term health and well-being.
