10 Recommended Ways To Reduce Cholesterol Levels

2. Exercise

Exercise works by raising “good” or HDL cholesterol in the body while reducing “bad” or LDL cholesterol. Exercise has been shown to decrease the risk of death in people who have had a heart attack by twenty-five percent. Finding time to exercise takes more effort than popping a pill, but it is a much safer way to reduce cholesterol. Start small by taking a thirty-minute walk around your neighborhood three times a week and gradually add in resistance training.
