Hidden Cholesterol Risks

Some things can sneakily affect your cholesterol and you might not even realise it! 💜

Here are a few hidden factors worth knowing about:

😴 Sleep matters – Skipping on quality sleep can throw off how your body handles fats, so try and fit some early nights into your week.

🚬 Smoking sneaks in – It can lower the “good” HDL cholesterol and make your arteries work harder.

🍷 Alcohol adds up – Too much can raise triglycerides, which affects your cholesterol balance.

💊 Medications count – Certain prescriptions, like some steroids or beta blockers, can influence your levels.

🩺 Health conditions – Diabetes, kidney issues or thyroid problems can quietly impact cholesterol.

👪 Family & age – Genetics and getting older both play a role, even if you feel healthy.

Just knowing these hidden risks gives you the knowledge so that you can start making small changes. Try and increase your sleep, cut back on alcohol, or checking in with your doctor, all add up to support your heart. 🫀
