As part of your wellness checklist, if you are:
In your 20s: Have your doctor do a baseline cholesterol test to monitor your heart health.
Your 30s: Your metabolism can start slowing down, which means a few more pounds on your scale. So increase your fiber to keep you regular, lowers your cholesterol levels and helps decrease your risk of heart disease.
