To lower your cholesterol, the first steps usually involve making Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC). The National Cholesterol Education Panel (National Institute of Health- USA) guidelines recommend Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes, which include:
- Diet – A diet that is low in fat and cholesterol. This is important, because food (especially red meat and dairy products) is a major source of the excess fat and cholesterol in your body.
- Exercise – Helps reduce high cholesterol. Also helps reduce other risk factors for heart disease, such as high blood pressure.
- Weight loss – Reduces LDL cholesterol and triglycerides, increases HDL cholesterol. Also helps to lower blood pressure and diabetes.
- Not smoking – Quitting will raise your HDL cholesterol levels. When diet and exercise aren’t effective enough, doctors may prescribe cholesterol-lowering medication as an addition to diet and exercise
4 Indians die of heart disease every minute. Unlike in days past when heart attacks were more common in people in their 50s and beyond, today’s world sees relatively young people die in their 30s of heart attacks.
Isn’t it worth being careful?
