We have all heard about the dangers of high cholesterol but do you even know what your cholesterol levels are? Flora is launching the ‘Flora pro.activ Cholesterol Roadshow’ which will be travelling across Ireland offering free cholesterol checks and advice on how to improve your diet and lifestyle. This is a fantastic service that will save you the €50 cost of a doctor visit.
Flora pro.activ will have their nurses on hand to conduct cholesterol checks at leading Irish retailers. The check will only take five minutes and they will offer you tailored dietary advise based on your results.

Last year, the Flora pro.activ Cholesterol Roadshow carried out almost 1,500 checks and the results from screenings showed that 58% of Irish adults had high level of cholesterol. High cholesterol is a major contributor to heart disease. Flora pro.activ is clinically proven to lower cholesterol by providing plant sterols which lower cholesterol. Three portions of Flora pro.activ spread a day will provide you with your daily requirement of plant sterols.
This year, Flora pro.activ has partnered with RTE Radio 1’s ‘Mooney Show’. There will be a number of ‘Mooney on Tour with Flora pro.activ’ outside broadcasts taking place nationwide.
Nutritionist Dr. Patricia Heavey and lifestyle and fitness expert Pat Henry are also taking part this year offering tips and advice to those looking to combat high cholesterol. Pat has worked with several famous clients including Helen Mirren, Christina Ricci and Bruce Springsteen and has also worked on RTÉ’s ‘Operation Transformation’.
