Total cholesterol

All the cholesterol carried in your blood.

If it's high

Raises heart and blood vessel risk over time, depending on the HDL and LDL split.

• Oats, barley, beans and dals (soluble fibre)
• A handful of nuts (almonds, walnuts) and flaxseed
• Plenty of vegetables and fruit

If it's low

Rarely a concern on its own.

A question for your doctor

What is my overall heart risk, not just this number?
