Exercise and Cholesterol
Posted By: RealAge on 12/17/2011
Your doctor has probably coached you on the importance of a smart diet to manage your cholesterol. Physical activity is another important piece of the puzzle. One study found that daily exercise, combined with a high-fiber, low-fat diet, can help improve cholesterol levels in just three weeks.
Regular workouts enhance your cholesterol numbers in three ways:
Boost beneficial HDL cholesterol. Swimming, cycling, walking, or other types of aerobic exercise -- the kind that raises your heart rate -- elevates your HDL level.
Trim "bad" LDL cholesterol. Aerobic workouts also help keep harmful LDL cholesterol in check. For extra LDL-lowering benefits, add resistance training to your routine.
Knock down triglycerides. Are your triglyceride levels high, too? Moderate-intensity exercise can help bring them down.
