High cholesterol is a big risk factor for heart disease, and people who are diagnosed with it need every possible information about the condition. What if you find the answers to all your questions like what's normal? What's not?, how you can lower you LDL cholesterol levels and how to boost your HDL cholesterol levels all in one place? While you have several other sources to obtain the information, why not put your phone to some good use and try an app that can help you with all the answers. Here's one you can try: Cholesterol. The app is free for Android and iPhone users.
As per the description of the app, it is a comprehensive guide inclusive of causes, symptoms, diagnosis and prevention strategies for high cholesterol levels. The app also helps the users to track their risk of heart disease in the next 10 years. Apart from this, it also has a body mass index (BMI) tracking tool in it which can check other risk factors like obesity to assess you're chances of suffering from heart disease in the future. The featured list also includes videos. All in all, the app claims to guide the users with a step-wise action plan to better their health. But in the end, remember that it's only a tool providing information and you need to consult your doctor to get a proper health plan in place.
