Cholesterol Myth | I Feel Healthy So I Must Have Good Cholesterol

Cholesterol Myth: I feel healthy and my doctor has not brought up the subject of cholesterol with me, so I must have good cholesterol.

There are no physical signs of high cholesterol. 

Sadly, for too many people, the first sign of high cholesterol or heart problems is a heart attack or stroke. 

You need to take matters into your own hands and not rely only on a doctor or any symptoms to determine your cholesterol level. 

Instead, take steps to eat healthy foods and exercise no matter how healthy you think you may be and get your cholesterol tested especially if you have any risk factors associated with heightened cholesterol.

Personally, I get my cholesterol test every year along with a complete blood panel to keep an eye on my overall health and so I have a baseline if something changes.
