October marks National Cholesterol Month, a month-long initiative in the UK dedicated to heightening awareness about the risks associated with high cholesterol and promoting heart health improvement strategies.

Spearheaded by Heart UK, this campaign follows World Heart Day on September 29, bringing together charities and health organizations to collaboratively raise awareness throughout the month. Heart UK emphasizes that making modest adjustments to one's diet, coupled with increased physical activity, can positively impact cholesterol levels and contribute to overall heart health.
