Adopt proven methods to lower cholesterol levels and boost cardiovascular health through diet, activity, and mindful habits.
Replace saturated fats (butter, red meat) with unsaturated fats like avocados, nuts, and olive oil to reduce LDL ("bad" cholesterol).
Oats, beans, and fruits like apples bind cholesterol in the gut, preventing absorption and naturally lowering levels.
Aim for 150+ minutes weekly of brisk walking, cycling, or swimming to raise HDL ("good" cholesterol) and improve circulation.
Losing 5-10% of body weight reduces LDL and triglycerides, easing strain on the heart and blood vessels.
Check labels for "partially hydrogenated oils" in processed snacks and fried foods—these spike LDL and harm arteries.
Excess alcohol raises triglycerides; smoking damages blood vessels. Moderation and cessation improve cholesterol profiles rapidly.
Regular blood tests track progress. Statins or other prescriptions may be needed if lifestyle changes aren’t enough.
Cholesterol management is lifelong. Pair small, sustainable changes with medical guidance for lasting heart health benefits.
