Maintaining normal cholesterol levels is an essential part of being healthy, and there are many different options for regulating your cholesterol. According to the American Heart Association, an estimated 50% of Americans suffer from high cholesterol, which can contribute to coronary blockages and heart attacks. Here are some tips which can help you maintain normal cholesterol levels and increase your overall health.
One of the key facets of maintaining normal cholesterol levels is to have your level checked fairly often. Your doctor can do this with a simple blood test, and can also provide valuable feedback on your results.
Often, the most effective way to lower cholesterol is to change your diet. Eating more fruits and vegetables, reducing your red meat intake, and opting for fish or poultry can go a long way towards maintaining healthy levels. In addition, choosing whole grain foods can make a significant difference. Consuming foods with high levels of soluble fiber such as oats, beans, apples, or Prunes appears to reduce cholesterol absorption, which ultimately helps to lower overall cholesterol levels. Including five to ten grams of soluble fiber in your daily diet has been shown to lower cholesterol levels by as much as 10%.
Exercise is another key component of keeping your cholesterol levels in check. While doctors generally recommend some form of exercise every day, it does not have to be much in order for you to reap the benefits. Just adding 15 minutes of activity every day can help keep you healthy. It can be as simple as riding a bike, taking a short walk, or even making a point of parking farther away when you are at the grocery store.
Drinking sufficient amounts of water has been proven to be highly effective at managing cholesterol levels. In addition, both black and green teas possess cholesterol-lowering properties. Another method that has been shown to be effective is the use of various vitamins and herbs. Studies have shown that both Vitamin B3 and garlic may help to normalize cholesterol levels.
