Free Cholesterol Screening

DO CALGARIANS KNOW THEIR NUMBER? FREE CHOLESTEROL SCREENING TESTS COME TO CALGARY Location: Market Mall, 3625 Shagannapi Trail NW, Calgary, AB T3A 0E2 When: Saturday, February 11, 2012 to Monday, February 13, 2012 at See Below Cholesterol is a topic we often hear about, but are Canadian women paying attention to their cholesterol number? As mothers, wives, daughters, friends and pillars of their communities, many Canadian women are quick to put their own needs aside for the benefit of others. Yet while their hearts are in the right place, their heart health may not be and as result, one in three Canadian women die each year from heart disease and stroke. Knowing their cholesterol number is one easy step that all Canadians can take to help reduce their risk of heart disease and stroke. Yet almost 70 per cent of Canadians don t know their number. It s time to get in the know! To help address this issue, Becel , in its role as founding sponsor of the Heart and Stroke Foundation s The Heart Truth campaign, is offering free cholesterol screening tests at eight malls and in more than 200 stores across the country during the month of February.
