Cardiovascular disease is the number one killer of men and women throughout
the world, including the
Cardiovascular disease most often begins with the buildup of fatty substances (primarily cholesterol), in the lining of the arteries. This is called atherosclerosis. Normally, your blood vessels are smooth inside, allowing your blood to pass through the arteries easily. However, with atherosclerosis, accumulations of fatty substances form plaque. This reduces the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body, which can lead to serious problems, including a heart attack, stroke, or even death. When atherosclerosis occurs in the arteries of the heart, the heart can become deprived of oxygen and nutrients. Further, sometimes the plaque is not stable and can rupture. This can completely block blood flow to the heart, causing a heart attack. Additionally, when blood flow is blocked in the arteries in or leading to the brain, you can have a stroke. The main factor increasing your risk of developing cardiovascular disease is having unhealthy levels of cholesterol. Many people have unhealthy cholesterol levels, most often caused by:
- Poor dietary habits
- Inadequate exercise
- Excess weight
- Increasing Age
- Family history of unhealthy cholesterol
- Poorly controlled diabetes
What is Cholesterol?
Cholesterol is a type of fatty substance, also known as a lipid which is a
type of fat in the blood. You get cholesterol primarily from eating certain
types of fatty foods.
Your body also makes cholesterol. In fact, cholesterol is a major component of cell membranes and is made by the cells of most organs and tissues in the body. Cholesterol is carried in the blood by special substances called lipoproteins. Low-density lipoprotein, or LDL, is known as “bad” cholesterol. High-density lipoprotein, or HDL, is known as “good” cholesterol. These two types of lipids, along with triglycerides, make up the three main parts of your cholesterol.
(LDL) Low-density lipoproteins (bad cholesterol) can build up in your arteries along with other substances, forming plaque, which restricts blood flow to your heart, brain, and other vital organs.
(HDL) High-density lipoproteins (good cholesterol) are “good” because they carry cholesterol away from the arteries to the liver, where the body can eliminate it.
Triglycerides are a type of fat in the blood. They're produced in the liver and also come from foods that you eat. High levels of triglycerides can narrow and harden arteries, making it hard for blood to flow. A high triglyceride level often occurs with high “bad” cholesterol (LDL) levels and lower “good” cholesterol (HDL) levels.

What are the 3 Most Effective Ways to
Lower My Cholesterol?
ONE - Improve Your Dietary
Choices
As mentioned above, some cholesterol is made by your body. However, the food you eat is responsible for the rest. All food products from animals contain cholesterol, which include meats, poultry, eggs, butter, cheese and milk. Additionally, most types of food can contain saturated fats and trans fats, which cause your body to make more cholesterol, (saturated fats and trans fats are the most harmful types of fats and contribute to raising your LDL (bad) cholesterol and lowering your HDL (good) cholesterol).
The American Heart Association recommends that you keep your intake of total
fat to between 25 percent and 35 percent, your saturated fat
consumption to less than 7 percent and your intake of trans fat to
less than 1 percent of your total daily calories. Further, it is very important to limit
your intake of cholesterol from food to less than 300 mg per day, (If you have
high LDL (bad) blood cholesterol levels, you should consume less than 200 mg of
cholesterol per day). It is also highly
recommended that you eat at least 25 to 30 grams of dietary fiber each day, preferably
from whole grains, fruits, vegetables and legumes. Keep in mind that improving your diet does
not only consist of what you shouldn’t eat.
It also means eating a diet rich in vegetables and fruits, with whole
grains, high-fiber foods, lean meats and poultry, fish at least twice a week,
and fat-free or 1 percent fat dairy products.
TWO - Become More Physically Active
Physical inactivity is a primary contributor to the risk factors of
cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Association recommends getting at
least 30 minutes of physical activity at least 3 to 4 times a week. For some
people, regular physical activity affects blood cholesterol level by increasing
the level of HDL (good) cholesterol.
Physical activity can also help control other risk factors for heart
disease such as obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure. The recommended type
of exercise to battle unhealthy cholesterol is aerobic exercise, (exercise that
uses oxygen to provide energy to large muscles) raises your heart and breathing
rates, which help your heart to work more efficiently at rest as well as during
physical activity.
Some great examples of aerobic exercise you could do are jogging, swimming, bicycling, tennis, and fitness walking. In addition, you can get an aerobic workout through stationary exercise machines such as cycles, treadmills, stair-steppers and rowing machines. You may also note that even mild activities, if done daily, can help. You can certainly benefit from simple things like walking, gardening, housework or dancing. The main goal is to become active enough to get your heart rate up for at least 15 minutes a few times a day.
