      You may have heard of heart disease. Every day it seems a new article comes out about what heart disease does or what affects your heart. Not many people, though, know the full story.

If you know how to lower the bad type of cholesterol and increase the good type, you can significantly prevent clogging or even unclog your arteries, reducing your chance of suffering heart attacks and strokes.

      To start to manage your risk factors, you need to get tested beginning at a fairly young age. These tests require repeating every few years, and if you are higher risk, you may need testing more often to determine the proper
