Obesity, high cholesterol, and heart disease are the familiar steps in a tragic progression of declining health that affects hundreds of thousands of people every year.
Nearly 1 million Americans died of heart disease in 2009.
52 million Americans have high cholesterol, a leading cause of heart disease.
67 percent of Americans are overweight or obese, the top contributor to high cholesterol.
According to the American Heart Association, being overweight or obese is the #2 preventable cause of death in the United States.
The relationship is clear.
Lowering your cholesterol can help improve your health by reducing your risk of heart attack, stroke, and other serious health problems.
