  • Whether you smoke

The results of your check-up will be available immediately and you will receive consultation highlighting the simple steps you can take to keep your heart and cholesterol levels healthy, such as:

  • Stopping smoking
  • Reducing alcohol intake
  • Increasing activity levels
  • Increasing the amount of fruit and vegetables you eat
  • Monitoring your blood pressure
