Lowering your cholesterol through plant sterols
Lowering your cholesterol through plant sterols
Cholesterol is a fatty substance in the blood which plays a role in the health of cell membranes and hormones. Although the liver regulates the cholesterol in the body, excess cholestrol from the diet or an inability of the liver to regulate effectively can lead to elevated cholesterol levels. Chronically high cholesterol levels can lead to blood vessel damage or blockages and this increases the risk of heart attacks and stroke. It is possible to effectively lower cholesterol through the use of plant sterols. Flora Pro-activ contains the necessary daily amount of plant sterols to have a beneficial effect. Lisa meets with Flora dietitian, Brigitte Oswell, to explore the benefits of plant sterols and find out how to incorporate Flora Pro-activ into your everyday eating for lower cholesterol.
