Did you know a portion of Newson Health’s profits go directly into funding much needed research and education initiatives?

Did you know, in adults aged 16 to 44, men are more likely than women to have raised cholesterol levels (53% compared to 46%)?   But during menopause, the situation reverses – of those aged 45 to 64, 77% of women have raised cholesterol compared to 67% of men. *   So, what’s going on?   The hormone oestrogen is known for its protective effect on your heart and can reduce the levels of ‘bad’ cholesterol in your blood. This is a type of fat that can clog the arteries and increase the risk of heart attack, heart disease and stroke.   During perimenopause, oestrogen levels fluctuate and during the menopause, levels fall. The cholesterol in your blood often rises during menopause and this continues into old age. Swipe through to learn more about what causes high cholesterol and the lifestyle changes you can make to lower your levels.   #MasterYourHormones #Menopause #Perimenopause #WorldCholesterolMonth #WorldMenopauseMonth   *NHS health survey for women (2021)
