By: Getdistributors

Everyone tells us to eat plenty of oats, beans, fruits, and vegetables: Soluble fiber reduces LDL cholesterol and maintains arteries clear and healthy.

Eat More Fiber-Rich Food

Eat olive oil, nuts, and avocados for better cholesterol and heart protection instead of saturated fats.

Choose Healthy Fat

This may seem mundane but keep moving. A simple walk for half an hour every day lifts HDL cholesterol while diminishing LDL cholesterol levels naturally.

Exercise Regularly

Within 24 hours of quitting cigarette smoking, cardiovascular risk trends begin dropping toward a favorable level; HDL (good cholesterol) starts to increase.

Quit Smoking

Pay attention and try limiting a bit on the sweets-first white breads, and soda-trace triglycerides and slowly gain control of cholesterol.

Limit Sugar & Refined Carb

Losing, say, 5 to 10% decreases LDL and total cholesterol while boosting blood pressure and blocking heart disease.

Lose Excess Weight

Keep an eye on your cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels. The earlier the discovery, the better priority management.
