Lose Weight
Losing weight may bring a double effect on cholesterol. It helps reduce harmful LDL cholesterol levels and increase beneficial HDL cholesterol levels. More specifically, a weight loss of around 5 to 10 percent of body weight would significantly reduce levels of LDL cholesterol in those with a high risk of heart issues. Some other studies have suggested that reducing the body weight by around 1 to 3 percent would boost levels of HDL cholesterol. To lose weight effectively, you need to combine a healthy and balanced diet with regular exercise. [7]
