❤️ Do you know your cholesterol numbers?

September is National Cholesterol Education Month, a great reminder for older adults to stay informed about their heart health. According to the American Heart Association, cholesterol is a waxy substance your body needs for important functions, but when cholesterol is too high, it can increase your risk of heart disease or stroke.

Understanding your numbers can help you have more informed conversations with your healthcare provider: 🩺

🩸 Total Cholesterol: A measure of the overall amount of cholesterol in your blood.

❤️ LDL Cholesterol: Often called “bad” cholesterol because high levels can contribute to heart disease and stroke.

💙 HDL Cholesterol: Often called “good” cholesterol because higher levels can help reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke.

📊 Triglycerides: A type of fat in the body that, at high levels, can contribute to cholesterol buildup.

Knowing your numbers, maintaining healthy lifestyle habits, and talking with your healthcare provider can all play an important role in managing your cholesterol and protecting your heart health. ❤️

📝 Current medications and dosages
⏰ When and how each medication should be taken
💊 Prescription and over-the-counter medications
