How to reduce the risk with high blood cholesterol?


The following steps can be taken to keep your cholesterol low and reduce your risk for atherosclerosis (a heart disease,which is costly and fatal )

- Follow a diet lower in saturated fat and cholesterol

- Be physically active

- Maintain a healthy weight

- Not smoke
-In extreme conditions medications are prescribed

Diet : The fat intake from food matters very much in lowering cholesterol. As there is good cholesterol and bad cholesterol there is good and bad fat. The intake of good fat and reduction of bad fat is what really matters when comes to heart disease. The good fats, mono and poly unsaturated fats really help lower the risk. The bad fats, saturated and trans fats increases the risk. The key is to substitute good fats for bad fats. The Recommended daily Allowance for cholesterol is 300 mg per day based on a 2000 calorie diet. So care is needed to limit cholesterol intake on daily basis.

The easiest and best way is to start herba life products. Herbalife has no cholesterol, low carbohydrate, no transfat and low salt. It is rich in protein and full of essential nutrients and fiber. Also Herbalife is the only foods, which provides enzymes, and ginger and other nutrients that facilitate assimilation of the nutrients in to our body effectively .So that way herbalife is the ideal food to reduce risk for heart diseases.

Excercise:

Excercise itself doesnt " burnoff " cholesterol like it can with fat tissue. However, when it is labor intensive(1500kcal or more per week), excericse can increase metabolism and help in conversion of some form of cholesterol ot HDL,the good cholesterol. With regular excercise aproximately 30 minutes a day for 7 days a week, the LDL cholesterol can be reduced by 10 percent.
Thus life style can affect the Blood pressure, blood Cholesterol and blood glucose level. So a change in lifestyle is pretty much needed.
