Lifestyle
changes to help control your cholesterol levels
The American Heart Association
recommends three things you can do to raise and maintain healthy HDL cholesterol
levels:
- Quit smoking - and
if you don't smoke, don't start!
- Maintain a healthy weight.
- Exercise for 45 - 60 minutes
at least three times a week.
Exercise has also been shown
to lower LDL cholesterol levels.
It is very important to consult
with your primary healthcare physician before beginning any exercise program.
