Managing High Cholesterol

 

High Cholesterol — Simple Guide

What it is

Extra fat in your blood that can build up as plaque and raise heart and stroke risk—usually with zero symptoms.

  • LDL = “bad” cholesterol (target to lower)
  • HDL = “good” cholesterol
  • Triglycerides = keep lower too

Quick wins

Small moves, smart swaps, steady sleep. Consistency beats perfection.

  • 150 min/week movement + 2–3x resistance
  • Fiber up: oats, beans, veggies, fruit
  • Healthy fats: olive oil, nuts, fish
  • Cut trans/saturated fats, refined carbs

Meds & goals

Some need meds; your clinician personalizes targets and plan.

  • Statins first line when risk is high
  • Add‑ons: ezetimibe, PCSK9 if needed
  • Often aim for 50%+ LDL drop
  • Recheck labs in 4–12 weeks after changes

Life changes that lower LDL

Food swaps

  • Fiber up: oats, beans, veggies, berries (25–30g/day)
  • Better fats: olive oil, nuts, seeds, fish 2x/week
  • Protein picks: fish, beans, tofu, lean poultry
  • Carb cleanup: whole grains; skip sugary drinks

Move more

  • 150 min/week + 2–3x resistance training
  • 10‑min walks after meals
  • Daily NEAT: stairs, walk‑calls, park farther

Habits that help

  • Sleep 7–9 hours; set a wind‑down alarm
  • Stress: 5‑minute breath or walk reset
  • Alcohol in check; quit smoking for HDL

Managing High Cholesterol with Lifestyle + LL Supplement

High cholesterol is often called a silent risk factor—it develops quietly but increases the chances of heart disease and stroke over time. While medical treatment may be necessary for some, lifestyle changes combined with natural support can make a meaningful difference.

Lifestyle Foundations

  • Nutrition: Focus on high-fiber foods (vegetables, oats, beans) and healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, fatty fish). Limit processed foods, trans fats, and added sugars.
  • Exercise: At least 150 minutes of moderate activity weekly helps raise protective HDL and lower LDL.
  • Stress & Sleep: Chronic stress and poor sleep can worsen cholesterol and inflammation.
