A lot of us during this time of year indulge ourselves in foods that are rich in saturated fats and cholesterol, like eggnog, cold-cuts, ham, turkey, pies and sugar cookies to name a few.<br> For someone who has elevated cholesterol levels, this might be a difficult time of year. Now, more than ever, it is important to watch what we eat, especially if we are worried about our blood cholesterol levels. In this show, I discuss what cholesterol is, where it comes from and ways to control or lower your cholesterol levels.<br> <br> Some references I used while researching this show are The New Wellness Encyclopedia, <a title="Mayo Clinic" href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/cholesterol-test/CL00033">Mayo Clinic</a>, <a title="ehealthmd.com" href="http://www.ehealthmd.com/library/lowercholesterol/LC_whatis.html">ehealthmd.com</a> and <a title="WebMD" href="http://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/guide/cholesterol-basics">WebMD</a>.<br> If you like the show, please head on over to <a title="iTunes" href="http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=285124681">iTunes</a> and give me a nice review.
