What affects cholesterol levels? Do you know there are
somethings you can do to lower your cholesterol levels?
High levels of cholesterol in the blood can increase
your risk of heart disease. Your cholesterol levels
tend to rise as you get older. There are usually no
signs or symptoms that you have high blood cholesterol,
but it can be detected with a blood test. You are likely
to have high cholesterol if members of your family have it,
if you are overweight or if you eat a lot of fatty foods.


A variety of things can affect cholesterol levels. These a
re things you can do something about:

Diet - Saturated fat and cholesterol in the food you eat
make your blood cholesterol level go up. Saturated fat is
the main culprit, but cholesterol in foods also matters.
Reducing the amount of saturated fat and cholesterol in
your diet helps lower your blood cholesterol level.

Weight - Being overweight is a risk factor for heart
disease. It also tends to increase your cholesterol.
Losing weight can help lower your LDL and total
cholesterol levels, as well as raise your HDL and
lower your triglyceride levels.

Physical Activity - Not being physically active is a risk
factor for heart disease. Regular physical activity can help
lower LDL (bad) cholesterol and raise HDL (good) cholesterol
levels. It also helps you lose weight. You should try to be
physically active for 30 minutes on most, if not all, days.

Things you cannot do anything about also can affect cholesterol
levels. These include:

Age and Gender - As women and men get older, their cholesterol
levels rise. Before the age of menopause, women have lower total
cholesterol levels than men of the same age. After the age of
menopause, women's LDL levels tend to rise.

Heredity - Your genes partly determine how much cholesterol
your body makes. High blood cholesterol can run in families.
