Cholesterol can be defined as a fat type made by your body- it is generally derived from the food we consume. There are two types of cholesterol present in the body- good cholesterol and bad cholesterol. The good boosts the cell regeneration process in our body, whereas the bad cholesterol can give rise to different heart issues, including attacks and strokes.

Thus, it becomes essential to manage your cholesterol level for good overall health. There are different cholesterol sources; while you can manage some, others remain out of your control. For example, cholesterol levels can fluctuate with age and family heredity, which is beyond your control. Still, by controlling your weight, eating habits, and staying active, you can bring cholesterol under control.

Managing your cholesterol levels effectively

One of the best ways to manage your cholesterol levels is through lifestyle changes. Make sure that you always:

• Eat food that is healthy for your heart: You should always eat healthy food to improve your overall health and manage cholesterol levels. Go for green leafy vegetables, legumes, whole-grain food, colorful fruits, and unprocessed poultry products. Junk food, processed foods with added sugar, etc., are something that you should always avoid.
• Stay active: You should plan for a 30 mins activity at least five times a week. You can go swimming, running, or cycling- they would reduce the bad cholesterol and boost the good cholesterol level.
• Maintain a healthy weight: Lose weight, if needed. Being overweight increases the chances of cardiac diseases. At Navarro, we would provide complete assistance in terms of a diet chart and activity list to help you lose weight.

Finally, you should take all the medications prescribed by your doctor. Talk to them about any issues you may have, and ask for their guidance. Follow their recommendations properly, and you will be able to bring your cholesterol level under control.
