How to lower your cholesterol with some changes and maybe pills. A short guide:
1. Eat well: Eat less of the fats that are in red meat and milk products that are not low-fat. Also, do not eat the fats that are in some butter-like things and some baked goods. Eat more of the good fats that are in fish like salmon and mackerel. Eat more of the things that help your body get rid of bad stuff, like oats, fruits, and vegetables. And add some whey protein to your food.
2. Move more: Do something that makes you sweat for at least 30 minutes every day. This can make your good cholesterol go up and your bad cholesterol go down.
3. Lose weight: If you are too heavy, losing some weight can help you lower your cholesterol.
4. Stop smoking: This makes your good cholesterol better and lowers your chance of getting heart problems.
5. Drink less: A little bit of alcohol can make your good cholesterol higher, but too much can cause a lot of health issues.
6. Take pills: If the changes above are not enough, you might need to take some pills that lower your cholesterol, like statins.
Remember, you should talk to a doctor before you change your food or exercise habits, or start taking any new pills. You should also see your doctor regularly to check your cholesterol levels. This is not a quick fix, but a long-term goal to live healthier!
