Exercise & Cholesterol
Exercise is often employed as a method to lower your bad cholesterol levels, and there are some that ask what the most effective is. The fact is that you don’t always want to lower bad cholesterol. There are minimum healthy levels of cholesterol in general, and frankly not all cholesterol is bad. Some cholesterol you should have more of such as omega 3 fatty acids, because it’s good for your heart. But high cholesterol tells you that there is too much fat in your blood. Frankly, the body actually self regulates its cholesterol levels. It can get sources from food, but if it doesn’t, it will generally speaking make enough of its own. The problem is that when you eat a fatty diet and otherwise, your body doesn’t have to produce more cholesterol, but it gets completely overloaded and it can’t regulate quite as well as you would expect. You can use cholesterol supplements in general. But generally speaking, you should expect to burn off a number of calories each day through cardio exercise that is also heart healthy in general terms. This will help you to effectively lower cholesterol and therefore achieve the results you are looking for in keeping your cholesterol not too low, but under control.
