Cholesterol
There's a lot of news about cholesterol these days, and with good reason.
High cholesterol contributes to heart disease, which kills more Americans

habits — along with medication if your doctor recommends it — can keep
cholesterol levels under control and lower your risk of heart disease.

Health Tip of the Day
Fresh Breath With Tea
Tea drinkers may have better breath than those who don't drink tea, according to researchers at the College of Dentistry at the University of Illinois. Both black and green teas contain polyphenols, which can reduce or eliminate bacteria that cause bad breath. Adding sugar to tea, however, can reduce the tea's effectiveness, because sugar encourages the bacteria to grow.
