For years, my cholesterol levels had been very good. When I’d go in for my yearly check up and blood work, the number would always come back right in the 110 range. My physician and I were always pretty pleased with these results.
Then one year, seemingly out of the blue, my cholesterol shot up to 320.
No, that’s not a typo—in the space of 12 short months, my cholesterol reading went up by over 200 points.
