Lowering Cholesterol Lifestyle

Quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet that's low in fat, cholesterol and salt, exercising 30 minutes a day on most days of the week, and managing stress are essential for reducing your risk of heart disease, whether you take a statin or not. Those are lifestyle that changes you should do.

High cholesterol meaning your total cholesterol level is 240 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) (6.22 millimoles per liter, or mmol/L) or higher, or your low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL, or "bad" cholesterol) level is 130 mg/dL (3.37 mmol/L) or higher.

And this is about “exercising 30 minutes a day on most days of the week”, the best and easiest exercises for strengthening your bones, controlling your weight and toning your muscles. You don’t necessarily have to work out and cook your own meal every day, but also small changes in your daily routine will help.
