3、rt Disease Do you know your cholesterol level? Many people dont. A high level of cholesterol in the blood is an important risk factor for heart disease. Some people say that the danger of heart disease is exaggerated. However, heart disease is a main cause of death in developed countries. Every year
4、 more than one million Americans have heart attacks, and half of them die. People with heart disease suffer chest pains that make simple activities, such as walking, shaving, or taking a shower, difficult. Research has proven that cholesterol levels are connected with heart disease. One project in M
5、assachusetts has studied the same group of men and women since 1948. The researchers have found that the people who have high levels of cholesterol have more heart attacks. A natural substance in the blood, cholesterol comes from the liver. The amount of cholesterol is affected by diet and by physic
6、al qualities we inherit from our parents. One kind of cholesterol sticks fat to the walls of arteries, making them smaller and finally blocking them.

7、he heart valves. Angiograms (血管造影照片 ) are x-rays of the heart arteries. They show fat deposits and blockages caused by high cholesterol. Heart disease begins in children as young as 3 years old.

10、eart Association National Cholesterol Education Program says that fat should be no more than 30 percent of our diet.

11、ns cholesterol level. Aerobic exercise helps, too. Artery blockage can be reduced by as much as 40 percent through changes in diet and amount of exercise.

14、m 320 to 145 without drugs. He went on a vegetarian diet with only 10 percent fat, plus programs to reduce stress and get more exercise.

20、rs to help run educational activities. One way it educates is by street shows. Actors wear costumes and carry big pieces of plastic fat. They entertain so people will listen.

21、rcise groups to show people how to begin exercising. Volunteers also stand in supermarkets to suggest healthy food choices to shoppers.
