Know Your Numbers

You can’t see high cholesterol. You can’t feel it either. That’s why it’s often called a silent risk.

The only way to know if your levels are healthy is with a simple cholesterol check. Shockingly, many people in the UK have never been tested, even though high cholesterol is one of the main risk factors for heart disease and stroke.

🩺 Why knowing your numbers matters:

Cholesterol is measured in two main parts – LDL (bad) and HDL (good).

High LDL can clog arteries, but healthy HDL helps clear it away.

Without checking, you can’t know which side of the balance you’re on.

This October, make it your goal to know your numbers. Book a test, speak to your GP, or look into local health checks. Awareness is the first step to protecting your heart. 🫀

Know your numbers

National Cholesterol Month

💜 October is National Cholesterol Month 💜

Did you know 1 in 2 adults in the UK have raised cholesterol, and most don’t even know it. It’s one of those silent risks that often shows no symptoms, but it has a huge impact on our long-term heart health.

The good news is that movement makes a difference.

Even gentle, regular activity like Pilates helps improve circulation, reduces stress (which also affects cholesterol) and supports a healthier balance inside your body. Every time you roll out your mat, you’re not just working on strength and flexibility, you’re giving your heart and arteries some love too.

This week, as part of National Cholesterol Month, I’ll be sharing ways movement and lifestyle can support your heart health. Pilates is more than exercise, it’s a way to move, breathe and reset for both body and heart. 💜

👉 Have you had your cholesterol checked recently?

Self Care & Early Detection

One of the most important things you can do for your breast health is know your own body. Most breast cancers are found because women notice something different, a lump, a change in shape, or new skin changes.

💡 Quick self-check tips:

Pick a time each month that’s easy to remember, after a shower or before bed.

Look in the mirror first: check for changes in shape, dimpling, puckering or redness.

Feel gently all over each breast and under the armpits.

Don’t panic if you notice something, contact your GP for advice.

Self-checks don’t replace regular screening (mammograms) if you’re in the eligible age group, but they help you get to know your own body and notice changes early.

💜 Remember: early detection saves lives. Make it part of your monthly routine – it only takes a few minutes.
