WAYS TO GET RID OF HIGH CHOLESTEROL

Cholesterol is a fat-like substance released by the liver. It may be good or harmful to your health. For instance, it is useful in body functioning. It is also an important component in cell membrane structure. Cholesterol helps in vitamin D formation and some hormones.

Cholesterol may be meaningful to the body, but too much of it can cause health issues, including vascular and heart disease. Controlling its levels can be overwhelming, especially for individuals having it due to genes. That is why you should seek professional help in case your family has a high cholesterol history.

Tips for managing cholesterol

Substitute refined grains with whole grains

Unlike processed fiber, whole grains contain enough dietary fiber that encourages healthy cholesterol formation. Research shows that consuming more whole grains enhances your cholesterol production, lowering the risk of stroke and heart disease.

Include fruits and vegetables in your meals

Veggies and fruits supply the body with fiber and vitamins. You can start your day with berries, arugula, and tomatoes. Get spinach or kales ad carrots for lunch and challis plus vegetable soups for dinner.

Healthy oils only

Healthy oils contain less saturated fat that raises the good cholesterol. They include olive oil, vegetable, and avocado oils.
