- LDL, HDL and triglyceridesLDL, HDL and triglycerides are introduced as different parts of a cholesterol result, with a clear explanation of what each one represents.
- Why high cholesterol can go unnoticedHigh cholesterol usually does not cause clear or immediate symptoms, which means someone may feel well while still having a raised result.
- The wider risk pictureCholesterol results are considered alongside factors such as blood pressure, smoking, diabetes, age, family history and existing cardiovascular conditions.
What Influences Cholesterol
90 minutes and longer- Food patternsThe session explains how overall eating patterns can influence cholesterol, particularly the balance between saturated and unsaturated fats and the regular inclusion of fiber-rich foods.
- Movement, smoking and alcoholRegular movement, smoking status and alcohol intake can all form part of the wider cholesterol and cardiovascular-health picture.
- Genetics and health conditionsGenetics, family history and certain health conditions can affect cholesterol even when someone follows generally supportive habits.
- Medication and monitoringMedication and repeat testing are presented as legitimate parts of cholesterol management rather than evidence that someone has failed to make healthy choices.
