National Cholesterol Month

National Cholesterol Month, observed in October, is an awareness campaign aimed at raising understanding about the importance of maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and promoting heart health. Organised by HEART UK, this month-long initiative encourages people to get their cholesterol checked, learn about the impact of high cholesterol on their health, and adopt lifestyle changes that can improve cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. The campaign focuses on education, prevention, and encouraging individuals to take proactive steps toward better cardiovascular health.

High cholesterol is a major risk factor for heart disease and stroke, yet many people are unaware of their cholesterol levels. National Cholesterol Month serves as a reminder that everyone should monitor their cholesterol, especially those with a family history of heart disease. The campaign also highlights the role of diet, exercise, and medication in managing cholesterol levels and reducing the risk of serious health complications.

Here are some social media content ideas to engage your audience during National Cholesterol Month:

• Share facts about cholesterol and its impact on heart health.
• Encourage followers to get their cholesterol checked and know their numbers.
