Young at heart

As ambassador for this year’s Flora pro.activ cholesterol roadshow, fitness expert Pat Henry was nervous before he got his cholesterol level checked earlier this year, but — at 3.9mmol/l — it was well below 5mmol/l, the maximum number recommended by health professionals.

“It’s really important to get your cholesterol checked. When people get that checked, they become aware of other areas of health — many men get their PSA test done, too,” says Pat, who describes himself as “63 going on 21”.

A yoga therapist and fitness consultant, his clients have included David Bowie, Bruce Springsteen, Helen Mirren, Matt Dillon, Dolores O’Riordan and Michael Flatley.
