Flora pro.activ Cholesterol Roadshow
We’ve all heard a lot about cholesterol but here at Flora pro.activ we know that there is some confusion about its role in both our diet and in our bodies.
Cholesterol only becomes a problem when blood cholesterol levels are too high. The good news is that some factors that effect cholesterol levels can be changed by diet and lifestyle. The first step is to know your cholesterol level!
Do you know what your cholesterol level is?
Last year, the Flora pro.activ Cholesterol Roadshow carried out nearly 1,500 cholesterol checks on members of the public in towns throughout Ireland. The survey results generated from the screening campaign found that 58% of Irish adults tested had a cholesterol level greater than 5mmol/l, the recommended upper limit for healthy cholesterol according to Irish and International health professionals..
This year, the Flora pro.activ Cholesterol Roadshow is travelling around the country offering cholesterol checks and expert advice on diet and lifestyle. The Flora pro.activ representatives will be visiting a town near you over the coming months to carry out the cholesterol checks, which take just five minutes of your time, and will provide you with expert nutrition advice based on your results.
Flora pro.activ has teamed up with leading retailers and The Mooney Show on RTE Radio 1 to carry out the Cholesterol Roadshow, a full schedule of testing dates, venues and live Mooney outside broadcasts are available here.
Welcome to the Flora pro.activ Cholesterol Roadshow! This excellent initiative has been launched to encourage Irish people to be cholesterol aware and to get heart healthy!
I am delighted to be involved in this campaign again this year, suffering from high cholesterol myself I understand the importance of maintaining a heart healthy diet and keeping cholesterol under control. High cholesterol is a major contributor to heart disease, we all know somebody who has been touched in some way.
Over the coming months Flora pro.activ will be travelling to a town near you to test cholesterol levels and demonstrate how you can actively lower cholesterol through healthy diet and lifestyle. The Mooney Show will also have the pleasure of travelling around the country to host live shows in regional venues, full details of which are available on rte.ie/mooney. Our regional visits will be combined with cholesterol testing by Flora pro.activ, so make sure to register your spot and come along and meet myself and the Mooney Show team.
I’d strongly encourage you to get your cholesterol checked and to kick start a heart healthy lifestyle that will have huge benefits to your overall health and wellbeing. I look forward to meeting some of you as part of the Mooney Tour over the coming months.
Good luck!!
Derek Mooney
As heart disease has multiple risk factors you may need to improve more than one to reduce your overall risk.
