|
Overall cholesterol test results
|
|
|
|
**6.27** Overall
|
|
|
|
**1.51** HDL
|
|
|
|
Flora pro.activ has recruited hundreds of people who've volunteered to have
|
|
their cholesterol tested, and to consume the recommended amounts of Flora
|
|
pro.activ as the start of a new healthy lifestyle change and to lower their
|
|
cholesterol level. We'll be reporting on their initial test, then how they
|
|
progress. Their tests gave the results in the form of the amount of
|
|
cholesterol per litre of blood, in mmol/L. You should really aim to keep your
|
|
total cholesterol under five, with a bad (LDL) cholesterol under three and
|
|
good (HDL) cholesterol level above one. We picked four keen Flora pro.activ
|
|
testers to follow, and the third is 58-year-old Ian Raybould, from just
|
|
outside York. Ian, who retired five years ago, is an absolutely typical man
|
|
when it comes to his health - he only goes to the doctor when he's ill. But
|
|
then he heard about Flora pro.activ for lowering cholesterol. 'I thought it
|
|
would be good to check my cholesterol levels,' he says. 'My wife Aafke, who's
|
|
60, is more health-conscious than me and she thought it was a very good idea
|
|
to be involved. 'I was glad to find out that my cholesterol level weren't as
|
|
high as I thought, and we were both interested to find out that using the
|
|
spread can improve our cholesterol levels.'
|
|
|
|
**Keeping active**
|
|
|
|
Ian is making the most of his spare time now that he's retired. He keeps very
|
|
active - he's a keen motorcyclist, with a busy schedule of holidays and days
|
|
away to see areas of the UK and Europe that he hasn't been to before. 'One of
|
|
my bikes is a BMW K1200LT, which we use for touring and day trips. We are
|
|
going for a long weekend with friends to Shropshire in early May, followed by
|
|
a week to Belgium and Holland later in May, as well as a week planned touring
|
|
Scotland in July. 'I also have a more sporty Suzuki GSX1400 bike which I ride
|
|
by myself when "the boss" is at work, as she is not keen to ride pillion on
|
|
it… 'I try to keep in good shape,' he says. 'I eat healthily, with a moderate
|
|
amount of walking for exercise. Flora pro.activ spread fits into my everyday
|
|
diet; I use it three times a day - on toast and in sandwiches, for example -
|
|
to consume the right daily amount.'
|
|
|
|
**A brilliant all-rounder**
|
|
|
|
Ian's regime - exercise, a healthy diet, and regular consumption of the
|
|
optimum amount of Flora pro.activ spread - is a tasty and easy way to lower
|
|
your cholesterol. The main steps to take include eating a variety of foods
|
|
including wholegrains, vegetables and pulses, trying to keep saturated fats to
|
|
a minimum by swapping fatty meat for chicken or fish, butter for Flora
|
|
pro.activ spread, avoiding full-fat dairy products and taking it very easy on
|
|
processed foods such as biscuits and cakes. Regular exercise is vital -
|
|
walking, gardening, even energetic housework can work - and another good tip
|
|
is to reduce stress. Something that Ian has obviously taken to heart with his
|
|
regular holidays and breaks!
