Here's an important message from Benicol about Chololol Awareness Month this October.

Now Lorraine, I know you like a challenge and I've got a good one for you and all of our

midlife gang because along with Benicol, we're on a mission to help everyone reduce their risk

of cardiovascular disease by understanding

their cholesterol numbers and the small lifestyle changes we can all make to improve our long-term

heart health. I'm all over this one, Trish, because as you and our listeners will know, heart

disease is one of the biggest killers of men and women in the UK. And I've talked about my own

family heart health issues here on the podcast, which make me specifically at risk, so count me in.

We've both now had our cholesterol levels checked, and over the next 10 days, we're going to be

sharing lots of information and ideas for little healthy heart hacks on the postcards from

Midlife social channels. So do follow us on Instagram and Facebook. It's very easy to join up to

our own private group if you haven't already. Yes, we'll be sharing some fabulous heart healthy

recipes from chef Aldo Zilli, which is created especially for Benicol's

10-day challenge. And our friend, Carol Vorderman, she's been on the show before. She'll,

she will be on hand with lots of helpful info about understanding your cholesterol numbers and the

range of yogurts, yogurt drinks and spreads containing plant stanol ester, which has been shown to lower cholesterol.

Yes, well, we all know that Cowl is very good with numbers and she was in fact the original

brand ambassador for Benicol when it launched here in the UK 30 years ago. So it's good to have her back again.

So we hope you will join us in taking small daily steps towards a

happier, healthier heart and share your own ideas on the postcards from Midlife, Instagram and

Facebook group. Free breakfast clubs don't just set kids up for the day.

They free parents up too.
