Extreme Health Part 3 of 4: Cholesterol chaos

A high-cholesterol diet can wreak havoc on more than just your heart – it can also affect your legs, neck and kidneys, among others. We discuss how to prevent and manage bad cholesterol levels. This is an edited recording of the panel discussion that was held at the BFM Extreme Health event on July 28th, presented by Sunway Medical Centre.
