Move More to Lower Cholesterol

🫀 Did you know that being active helps lower cholesterol? It doesn’t need to be hours in the gym, even small bursts of daily movement add up.

Here’s how it helps:

🚶 Movement raises your HDL (“good”) cholesterol, which helps clear excess cholesterol from your blood.

🏃 It lowers LDL (“bad”) cholesterol, which is the one that clogs arteries.

😌 It reduces stress, keeps your blood flowing, and boosts heart health overall.

It’s about consistency, not perfection. Brisk walking, cycling, dancing around the kitchen, climbing the stairs instead of taking the lift, it all counts.

So if you want to support your heart health this October, try adding a little more movement into your day. It could be a short walk, a few stretches while the kettle boils, or taking the stairs instead of the lift. Small steps make a big difference when you repeat them often. 💜

Cholesterol Myths Busted

❌ “Only people who are overweight get high cholesterol.”

✅ The truth: High cholesterol can affect anyone. You can be slim, active, eat a balanced diet and still have raised levels. Genetics, age and family history all play a big part too.

That’s why relying on how you look or how healthy you feel isn’t enough. Cholesterol is often called the silent risk because there are no obvious symptoms, you could have it for years without realising.

The only way to know for sure is to get checked. A quick test can give you the numbers you need, and from there you can take simple steps to look after your heart.

Cholesterol doesnt discriminate

Swap for Heart Health

What we eat plays a huge role in cholesterol levels, the good news is, simple swaps really can make a change.

🥓 Instead of foods high in saturated fat (think processed meats, butter, cakes, biscuits, fried foods), try replacing them with heart-friendly options:

✅ Olive or rapeseed oil instead of butter or lard

✅ Oily fish like salmon, mackerel or sardines

✅ Nuts, seeds and avocados

✅ Oats, beans and lentils for added fibre

These foods don’t just taste good, they actively help lower, yes that's right lower “bad” LDL cholesterol and keep your heart healthier for the long term.

It’s not about cutting everything out. It’s about making everyday swaps that your heart will thank you for. 🫀
