Why it matters:

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for men and women in the United States. While certain risk factors like age and heredity cannot be changed, it is important to know that you can still take steps to lower your risk. High levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in your blood contribute to the development and worsening of heart disease. These can be successfully managed with lifestyle changes including healthy food choices as well as medication, if needed.
