Life's Simple Seven - Control Cholesterol

(February 14, 2017) - February is Heart Month and CMC, as the New Hampshire sponsor of the American Heart Association’s Life is Why campaign, wants to remind you of the AHA’s simple seven ways to get and stay heart healthy. In our fourth profile, we bring you the success story of one man who committed to controlling his cholesterol.
 

 

 

David Betz admits managing his cholesterol “should have been a priority a long time ago, but I pushed it off and kept saying I was going to manage it with diet and exercise.” The wakeup call was a heart attack 13 years ago. “I made a stronger effort with exercise and diet and started using medication.” Today, Betz’s cholesterol is under control and he no longer goes to the cholesterol clinic. He’s also become a runner and, thanks to the encouragement of his exercise instructor, Denise Houseman at cardiovascular wellness, now has two half marathons under his belt.
