FOOD AND DRINK OR EXERCISE TO HELP WITH HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Regular exercise

Frequently exercising at moderate intensity can regulate cholesterol by increasing the good type. To achieve this, always ensure to set aside at least 30 minutes of mid-exercise intensity, five days every week. If you can go harder, commit to 20 seconds of high intensity exercises, thrice every week, including weight lifting, brisk walking, and HIIT.

Soluble fiber

I always recommend eating foods, including oatmeal, apples, and beans, which have high amounts of soluble fiber that minimize cholesterol absorption in the blood stream.

Tomato juice

Lycopene compound in tomatoes helps boost lipid levels and restrict the bad cholesterol formation. Even a 2015 study indicates that drinking tomato juice every day for two months can reduce cholesterol amounts in blood.

Soy milk

I usually urge my clients to replace other high fat milk creams and products with soy milk, which contains low saturated fats that can reduce cholesterol in the body. The outcome is even better when consumed whole or with minimal processing and without additives, such as, sugars and salts.
