The Fats of Life: Irish Heart Month

Most men and women in their forties and fifties in Ireland do not know the fats of life!  This September, the Irish Heart Foundation's Heart Month campaign ‘The Fats of Life’ is all about fat and cholesterol.  Different fats in the food we eat affect the lipids, or fats, in our blood i.e. cholesterol.  In turn, having a healthy cholesterol is vital to preventing heart attack or stroke - still the leading causes of death in Ireland.  Only 18% of Irish adults have healthy cholesterol levels without the use of cholesterol-lowering medication.  If you would like to be added to the mailing list or to get more information on this campaign, contact Ellen McMeel at Email: This email address is being protected from spambots.
