5. Get Involved in Your Health: Knowing about your risks is the first step
in getting healthier. Once you are aware, take action to work toward a
healthier you. Find out about your family medical history and know what
genetic history you have related to high cholesterol and heart disease.
Bring this information to your doctor's attention so that you can work
together to form a program that works best for you.
