High Cholesterol Levels
High Cholesterol Levels and ED Cholesterol, which is a fatty substance, a lipid, is essential for all cells in the body. Cholesterol is needed for the body to produce vitamin D and certain hormones such as testosterone.
LDL (low density lipoprotein) is often called bad cholesterol and HDL (high density lipoprotein) is called good cholesterol.
At total high blood lipid levels and an imbalance between LDL and HDL, an excess of LDL (called dyslipidemia) can lead to atherosclerosis (hardening or arteries). In the long term, it can cause cardiovascular diseases such as angina and heart attacks.
Cholesterol is necessary while it can be harmful, so it is important that the values are at a good level. Most people have elevated cholesterol levels due to obesity. Therefore, following a healthy diet as well as exercising will help you prevent development of atherosclerosis and other cardiovascular problems.
How low can your cholesterol levels go if you regularly exercise? Current studies suggest that LDL cholesterol can be lowered by 5 to 10%, whereas HDL cholesterol can be raised by between 3 and 6% with regular exercise. While most of these studies involved aerobic exercises, such as swimming, running, and jogging, there are a handful of studies that have also looked at the healthy benefits of other forms of exercise, such as yoga and walking, in lowering cholesterol, too. Regardless of which type you select, exercise can be an important part of your cholesterol-lowering regimen.
