Lower your cholesterol

Eighty per cent of Irish men and women over 45 suffer from high cholesterol, the most common major risk factor associated with developing heart disease.

Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood used to produce important hormones, maintain healthy cells, and synthesise vitamin D in the body. However increasing levels of cholesterol in our blood can lead to an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and the possible hardening of the arteries.

A new food supplement made from natural plant sterols, Zerochol, can now help lower cholesterol in just six weeks. Taken with your main meal of the day, plant sterols can help reduce the absorption of cholesterol from food into the body.

Zerochol (RRP €24.99 ) is available from Mayo health food stores and selected pharmacies nationwide. See cholesterol.eu for details.
