10 Ways To Lower Cholesterol

Exercise Regularly

Being inactive is a major risk factor for cardiovascular issues and heart disease. Working out on a regular basis would have direct effects on cholesterol. By moving the body, you would increase levels of good HDL cholesterol as well as help you reduce or manage weight better. Ideally, each adult should have at least 150 minutes of aerobic exercise and 2 or more muscle-strengthening exercises per week. In case you do not have too much time, consider taking a 5-minute walk after every hour working in front of the computer. [6]
