13 Tips for Managing Your Cholesterol

13 Tips for Managing Your Cholesterol

High cholesterol levels can be a scary and dangerous thing, because it can lead to health problems like heart disease, stroke, and heart attacks.

The worrying part is that high cholesterol levels are becoming more common every day.

If you find out that you have high cholesterol levels, don’t just rush to go get yourself some cholesterol medication, as these types of medication often have a long list of negative side effects. There are many things you can do to lower and manage your cholesterol levels that don’t come with these side effects, and are usually a lot less expensive.

Here are 13 ways for managing cholesterol levels and staying healthy…

  1. Good Cholesterol vs. Bad Cholesterol

    Your body needs a certain level of cholesterol to function as it should, but this refers to HDL (good cholesterol), and not LDL (bad cholesterol). LDL is what causes plaque to form in the arteries, which causes blockages and leads to heart issues. On the other hand, HDL can actually help clear bad cholesterol from your arteries.

  2. Palm-Sized Portions

    Overeating and massive portion sizes can be devastating to your weight and cholesterol levels. Use your hand to estimate healthy portions:

    • Protein: the size of your palm
    • Fruit: the size of your clenched fist
    • Vegetables, pasta, or rice: enough to fill your cupped hand
  3. Eat Plenty Of Fruits and Veggies

    Fresh fruits and vegetables are packed with antioxidants that lower LDL cholesterol. Aim for 5 to 9 portions daily to benefit from their nutrients.

  4. Heart-Healthy Fatty Fish

    Eat fish at least twice a week—like salmon, tuna, sardines, and trout—for their omega-3 fatty acids that help reduce triglycerides.

  5. Whole Grains In The Morning

    Opt for oatmeal or whole-grain cereals. Whole grains like brown rice, barley, and wild rice are great cholesterol-friendly snacks.

  6. Go Nuts

    Snack on nuts such as almonds, macadamias, or pecans. They contain monounsaturated fats that lower LDL cholesterol. Watch the portion size—they're calorie-dense.

  7. Unsaturated Fats

    Include olive oil, canola oil, and safflower oil in your diet. They help lower LDL and increase HDL cholesterol. Moderation is key.

  8. The Carbs Of Choice

    Choose complex carbs like beans, brown rice, whole wheat, and quinoa. Avoid refined carbs like white bread, pastries, and white rice.

  9. Get Up and Active

    Aim for 30 minutes of exercise, 5 days a week. It can be anything you enjoy—walking, hiking, biking, gardening, or dancing.

  10. Eat Right When You Eat Out

    Choose grilled, baked, or steamed options. Ask for sauces on the side and practice portion control by boxing up half your meal.

  11. Read the Label

    Check serving sizes and ingredients. Look for whole grains and low saturated fat and cholesterol content.

  12. Relax, Take It Easy

    Manage stress to avoid blood pressure spikes and arterial plaque buildup. Try relaxation techniques or take up a hobby.

  13. Losing = Winning

    Losing weight helps manage bad cholesterol and reduces the risk of other health issues like diabetes and high blood pressure.

I have been using Cholesterol Support for a few months & my Cholesterol level has dropped to 4.9, down from the upper 6 level. Highly recommended

— Hoosen

This product lowered Total cholesterol, LDL and Trig and it increased HDL (the good cholesterol). Very happy!

— Elba

My cholesterol level was up at 6.4 and after a month and a half I had it tested again and it had come down to 4.9 taking 2 tablets a day. I have decreased it to 1 tablet to see if it will stabilize below 5. This is a 5 star product
