Weight loss: a key measure cholesterol

Regardless of diet cholesterol and medication, weight loss alone results in a decrease in the levels of " bad cholesterol "in the blood (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides. Meanwhile, the level of "good cholesterol "increases.

These effects on cholesterol occur quickly, within two months following a loss of weight of 10% over initial weight.

Then, the lower rate of cholesterol persists over time if the ideal weight is maintained.

Additional effects of weight loss

The weight loss is not only interesting vis-à-vis the cholesterol. It is also beneficial for the entire cardiovascular system (blood circulation, heart function ...), but also to prevent the risk of hypertension, diabetes...

Losing weight is also beneficial for morale with better self-image and self-esteem, and ultimately improving the quality of life!

And how to go about losing weight?

We must reduce your calorie intake reasonable. To do this, start by reducing the share of food of animal origin and preferred plants: vegetables, fruits, cereals complete.

Of course, also prefer the good fats at the expense of the poor: go including olive oil and rapeseed.

Finally, eat fish 3 times a week for their omega-3 health benefits, and remove any snacks.

The other big rule to lose weight is to make physical activity as much as possible, even if it is moderate. This is not the intensity that matters most, but the consistency. Know that everything adds: walking, DIY, gardening, climbing stairs, walking the dog ...

This lifestyle will benefit you throughout your life and your general health. This would be a shame not to try before having to take medication every day and remove foods containing cholesterol !
