National Cholesterol Month 2022
This entry was posted in General October 1, 2022
Following on from World Heart Day on the 29th September. October is National Cholesterol Month, a campaign by Heart UK which aims to raise awareness on the importance of maintaining a healthy cholesterol level.
High cholesterol is a risk factor for coronary heart disease. Yet despite around half of UK adults having raised cholesterol, many do not realise they have it. In fact, recent research showed that almost a third of UK population have never had their cholesterol levels checked, leaving a large number of potential diagnoses undetected. This means it's especially important to build understanding and knowledge on the risk of high cholesterol.
Lowing cholesterol earlier in life and maintaining optimal levels throughout adulthood, could help prevent coronary heart disease and lower long-term risk of cardiovascular disease. Even small reductions in cholesterol early in life have the potential to make a significant impact.
Healthcare professionals can help to identify those at risk and suggest dietary and lifestyle modifications to help lower cholesterol such as:
- Reducing weight and alcohol intake
- Smoking cessation
- Physical activity (minimum of 150 minutes activity a week)
- Reducing sedentary time
- Eating sufficient fibre
National Cholesterol Month is a great time to learn more about cholesterol, and how it could affect your life. At Ableworld, we offer a range of products that might be able to help you get out and about if you struggle with mobility issues. These include a variety of Pedal Exercisers, Walking Sticks and Walkers which can all help with increasing your physical activity.

At our Ableworld Head Office we were delighted to take part in the Macmillan Coffee Morning on Friday 30th September to help raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support.
We hosted a Bake sale on the day, where many of our head office-based employees brought in baked and ‘faked’ treats for the office to enjoy.
We also hosted a Raffle, and a ‘Guess the name of the Caterpillar’ to win some great prizes. Overall our Head Office team managed to raise £333.45 on the day, with all monies going towards Macmillan Cancer Support to help them raise vital funds for people living with cancer.
Thank you to all our brilliant colleagues who baked & faked to help raise these funds!
