9 Simple Hacks To Lower Cholesterol Without Medication

Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in the blood. Your body uses cholesterol for various purposes like maintaining cell membranes, synthesizing vitamin D, making multiple hormones in the body like cortisol, testosterone, and estrogen, and facilitating the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins like A, D, K, and E.

However, cholesterol is awful for us if it exceeds certain levels in the body. Cholesterol has three types: LDL or low-density cholesterol is dangerous at high levels.

Summary:
Ban Trans Fat
Trans fat is perhaps the most significant dietary source of cholesterol, and the best way to reduce cholesterol formation is by reducing the amount of trans fat you consume.

Quitting Smoking
Cigarette smoke changes how our body regulates cholesterol, making our bodies more susceptible to heart-related health issues. The tar in tobacco is more damaging than nicotine.

Fruits, Veggies, And Nuts
Snacking between meals to boost your energy or to satisfy a food craving is not unhealthy if the food is not high in trans and saturated fats.

Alcohol In Moderation
Whether alcohol provides health benefits for its consumers is a highly debated topic. Research indicates that moderate use of alcohol can positively impact HDL levels in the body and reduce the risk of heart disease.

Soluble Fibers
Fiber is known for being good for your digestive health. But many are under the impression that fiber only helps with digestion, but did you know fiber can improve your cardiovascular health? Foods rich in soluble fiber are low in cholesterol.

Monounsaturated Fats
Monounsaturated fats are fats with only a single, double bond. The body processes them differently than saturated fats because of their double bond.

Exercise
Exercise is a fool-proof way to improve heart health. Exercise can improve your physique, raise beneficial HDL cholesterol, and lower the harmful LDL variant.

Stop Stressing
Stress is another important factor when it comes to cholesterol levels. High stress can increase bad cholesterol. When stressed, the body releases hormones called cortisol and adrenaline.

Polyunsaturated Fats
Polyunsaturated fats have multiple double bonds, making them behave differently in the human body. Studies have shown that consuming polyunsaturated fats reduces the bad LDL cholesterol in our bodies, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.
