How to control cholesterol?

                                                       Control Cholesterol


Exercise  :-







  • Exercise is an important tool in lowering cholesterol and promoting overall health.
  • Most types of exercise routines, ranging from walking to running to yoga, appear to have the same impact when it comes to lowering LDL (“bad” cholesterol) and raising HDL (”good” cholesterol).
  • Regular exercise, especially aerobic exercise, has many benefits, including lowering cholesterol. 
  • Strengthen your heart and cardiovascular system
  • Increase your HDL or "good" cholesterol
  • Make you feel more relaxed and rested
  • Make you look fit and feel healthy 


Lose weight if you are overweight



Choose healthier fats


Drink at most one or two alcoholic beverages per day



  •     Moderate alcohol consumption has been linked to lower rates of heart disease.
  •                       A drink or two may improve your HDL. Women and people over 65 years should have just 1 drink per day, men 2 drinks per day.
  • Drinking red wine, in particular, may help boost your HDL levels

Quit smoking to boost HDL
