Johns Hopkins Special Reports   Seven Keys To Reduce Cholesterol This FREE Special Report, 7 Keys to Reduce Cholesterol, is Johns Hopkins Special Reports' contribution to the war on high cholesterol and coronary heart disease. Packed with clear, practical information, 7 Keys to Reduce Cholesterol will help you reduce cholesterol, improve your health, and reduce your risk of heart attack. The government's National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) has estimated that at least 65 million Americans have high cholesterol levels that merit treatment with dietary and other lifestyle changes designed to lower cholesterol. The National Cholesterol Education Program also states that as many as 36 million people should be taking cholesterol-lowering medications. Yet only 12 to 15 million of them are currently taking these medications, such as statin drugs (for example, Crestor, Lipitor, Zocor), and many (probably most) are taking too small a dose of statins to reduce cholesterol. Written by two of the leading specialists at Johns Hopkins Medicine, Dr Simeon Margolis, Medical Editor of The Johns Hopkins Medical Letter: Health After 50 and Johns Hopkins White Papers for nearly two decades, and Dr. Roger S. Blumenthal, the Director of Johns Hopkins' renowned Ciccarone Center for the Prevention of Heart Disease, 7 Keys to Reduce Cholesterol presents the latest medical research on the dangers of high cholesterol, and provides a powerful range of effective strategies for lowering your cholesterol safely. As many Americans are now aware, abnormal levels of cholesterol carried in the blood -- and in particular a high level of LDL, or so-called "bad" cholesterol -- significantly increase the risk for coronary heart disease and heart attack. It is also well established that reducing cholesterol to achieve optimal levels can significantly reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes. Of course, your cholesterol levels -- LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides -- are not the only risk factors for coronary heart disease. Other major risk factors include older age, a family history of premature heart disease, obesity, smoking, high blood pressure, and diabetes. Any decision about treating your cholesterol should be made in consultation with your doctor, taking all these heart disease and heart attack risk factors into account. Whatever your other heart health risk factors are, it may be time for you to re-evaluate whether you need to reduce your cholesterol.
