Like it or not, winter is right around the corner. Now, inbraddition to slippery roads and high heating bills, we have tobrworry about higher cholesterol levels. Brazilian researchersbrhave discovered that cholesterol levels go up in winter andbrdrop again in warmer weather. Changes in diet, exercise and sunbrexposure are the leading suspects. Don't trade that big salad for a big mac & cheese, Do join a gym if it’s too cold out to walk or run, and Do add some vitamin D foods to your daily menu (salmon, eggs, soymilk, regular milk poured on fortifi ed cereal), and Do be grateful so many “r” months are ahead, since oysters are a terrifi c source of vitamin D.
Bottom Line: Now that you know it’s coming, plan ahead.
