The National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) is pleased to present the 2006 National Cholesterol Education Month Kit. Please follow this link to see the full kit contents. The online format of the kit makes it easy to access and disseminate information on cholesterol. The theme for Cholesterol Month 2006 is "Know your cholesterol numbers—Know your risk—Give yourself some TLC." Cholesterol Month 2006 highlights a new booklet to help the 65 million American adults with high blood cholesterol make the therapeutic lifestyle changes (TLC) needed to lower their cholesterol and, with it, their risk for heart disease. To check their cholesterol status, all adults should have their cholesterol

measured, know their cholesterol numbers and their risk for heart disease, and follow a heart-healthy lifestyle to lower their risk and keep it down. Cholesterol Month Kit 2006 contains a variety of materials that will assist you in bringing cholesterol lowering information into your community, program, or practice. For those with an LDL (bad) cholesterol above their goal, the new publication, Your Guide to Lowering Your Cholesterol With TLC (Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes), which is based on the NCEP Adult Treatment Panel III (ATP III) guidelines, details a three-part program that uses diet, physical activity, and weight management to bring cholesterol levels down. The guide offers a set of tools to help people get started and embrace a heart-healthier way of living. For all Americans, whether they have high blood cholesterol or not, Cholesterol Month Kit 2006 makes it easy to access the tools and materials that can

help them make heart-healthy lifestyle changes to lower cholesterol. Here are some of the items included in your kit: The new booklet, Your Guide to Lowering Your Cholesterol With TLC (Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes).
