1 in 2 Australians have high cholesterol

Wow that is not cool. My mate sent me this site , it's an Aussie site about cholesterol and the free cholesterol tests that are being done all around the nation. It has info for everyone about cholesterol but if you are from down under, like me, then check the site to find out how to get tested. But everyone should get tested internationally. Only 1 in 5 Australians think they have high cholesterol. Thats 30% who don't know.

 

well i'm here in the u.s.a. and that does not suprise one bit. a few years back the w.h.o. (world health organization) compiled data from around the world on this matter. australia, canada, u.k. and, u.s.a. all had about the same 1 in 2 figure for cholesterol. the main reasons for it over eating of high fat foods and lack of exercise. in other words we all turning into nations of fat lazy pigs! how to get ourselfs out of this mess is a much, much, harder thing to do.

 

Maybe if we converted footpaths to treadmills. Hmm.......

 

In America it is the same,, people drive everywhere sit on their asses and watch T.V. all evenings.

I think most of it is lack of exercise…
