🫀 September is Cholesterol Education Month 🫀
Did you know cholesterol comes from both the foods you eat and your body?

✅ HDL (“good”) cholesterol helps protect your heart
❌ LDL (“bad”) cholesterol can build up in your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease and stroke

That’s why it’s so important to know your numbers. Our healthcare providers can check your cholesterol levels and help you take steps to stay healthy.

👉 This month, make your heart health a priority:
* Eat smart with more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins
* Stay active
* Avoid smoking
* Take medication as prescribed

📅 Call us today to schedule your wellness visit and cholesterol screening!
