In this video from my Instagram Live, I explain in detail How Exercise can help to Lower Cholesterol.
As a trainer, I always say that knowledge is power, so the more understanding we have of how our bodies work the easier it is to work with them.
Lowering cholesterol levels can be achieved through various lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medication prescribed by a healthcare professional. But here are some lifestyle strategies that can help lower cholesterol levels:
Adopt a heart-healthy diet: A diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats.
Get regular exercise: Regular physical activity, such as brisk walking, home workouts, cycling, swimming, or other forms of aerobic exercise, can help raise HDL (high-density lipoprotein) cholesterol, also known as “good” cholesterol, and lower LDL cholesterol levels.
Aim to be active every day.
Other obvious ways to help reduce Cholesterol are to Quit smoking and Limit your alcohol intake: It is also important to maintain a healthy weight: Being overweight or obese can increase LDL cholesterol levels. Losing weight through a combination of healthy eating and regular physical activity can help improve cholesterol levels.
