Exercise Your Way to Healthier Cholesterol

Whether you are on the 18% of Americans with high cholesterol or not, you can benefit from living a low cholesterol lifestyle.

While physical activity is not known to impact bad LDL cholesterol it does increase the level of HDL or good cholesterol, lowering the risk of heart disease.

A healthier diet is a great start and exercise can make your program even more efficient. Aim for 30 minutes at least three times a week.

One of the most important things you can do to lower your cholesterol levels is to stop smoking or to decrease the amount of time you spend around smokers. Smoking is a double blow – it lowers level of HDL cholesterol and makes your body resist into heart healthy exercise. High LDL cholesterol is bad news but lowering your cholesterol can help.

Remember to see your doctor before you begin a new exercise or diet program.
