September is National Cholesterol Education Month, sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. If you don’t know your cholesterol level, take some time this month to find out because high blood cholesterol increases your risk of coronary heart disease. To lower your blood cholesterol, follow a low saturated-fat, low cholesterol diet; increase your physical activity; lose weight if you’re overweight.

Portion-controlled diet foods and meal replacement diet plans can make it easier to lower cholesterol and lose excess weight.
