RESEARCH QUESTION:
How
Can a Low Cholesterol Diet Contribute to Maintaining a Healthy Heart?
As
we watch the News, read health magazines, visit our Doctor, we begin to realize
high Cholesterol can be the death of us and cause damage to our heart. Unfortunately for some this can come out of
left field, when you find out your bad cholesterol is higher than the normal
level (although there are ongoing debates in the medical field on the topic of
numbers). Such was the case for me. I run, I workout, don’t smoke, eat healthy, I
am not overweight, but come to find out it’s
hereditary.
How
many times have we heard on the News a runner collapsed while running and had a
heart attack? So although a person may
do all the right things, it’s more of a challenge to fight something that
exists in your family line. Lately I
have not been experiencing the chest pains, but I am curious as to what is the
healthy alternative; because I for my part do not want to be on the News.
So
if there are others out there, I hope this research will be of help to you as
well.
