#ad I’m here in my kitchen, where I can cook up a mean meal! I’m always conscious that while cholesterol is vital for many processes in the body, too much cholesterol can build up in your arteries, which may lead to a heart attack or stroke. It’s made by your liver, but it also comes from the foods you eat, which is why it’s important to make smart food choices to help manage your cholesterol levels. I encourage you to fit more fiber into your diet. Try to choose foods that are high in soluble fiber, such as peas, legumes, apples, oranges, pears, berries, broccoli and oatmeal. It’s also important to get your cholesterol checked regularly by your doctor, the American Heart Association recommends getting that checked every 4-6 years for adults over the age of 20. If you have high cholesterol, work with your doctor to ensure your heart’s health. For more resources, visit the @takecholesteroltoheart website!
