Additionally, there are over 30 million Americans that have high cholesterol, above 240 mg/Dl, which puts them at an increased risk of developing heart disease. The most common adverse health impact that is associated with high cholesterol is atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis occurs when cholesterol and other substances build up within the walls of your arteries and reduce the blood flow throughout your body.

1. Exercise

One of the best ways to reduce and to prevent high cholesterol is exercising each day. There are actually two different types of cholesterol. Low-density lipoprotein is known as bad cholesterol and is what causes the build-up within the walls of your arteries. The other type of cholesterol is high-density lipoprotein which is good cholesterol because it actually takes extra cholesterol and brings it back to your liver, preventing the build-up within your arteries. When a person has high cholesterol, it is because they have too much low-density lipoprotein and not enough high-density lipoprotein. In other words, it occurs when a person has too much "bad" cholesterol and not enough "good" cholesterol.Exercising has actually been found to not only reduce the amount of "bad" cholesterol within your body, but it also is responsible for increasing the amount of "good" cholesterol within your body. According to over 13 different studies, 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week can cause significant improvements in cholesterol levels. The best type of exercise to do is any type of aerobic exercise. The greatest improvements in cholesterol levels were observed when the heart rate level was raised to 75-85% of the maximum heart rate. Undergoing consistent exercise will also promote weight loss. Weight loss has been associated with improving cholesterol levels as well.Next
