Beat cholesterol with exercise
How to get rid of excess cholesterol?
If a balanced diet is very important in order to fight against excess cholesterol, prevention is also found in sports practice.
Indeed, it plays an important role in the balance between good and bad cholesterol.
• Sport promotes a decrease in heart rate at rest (while cholesterol will promote heart and vascular risks).
• It helps to fight against the accumulation of fatty mass. In addition, we know that being overweight is an important cardiovascular risk factor.
• Muscle contraction improves venous return and therefore fights against the inconvenience linked to venous insufficiency which promotes cholesterol.
3 simple and effective sports
In order for the effort to be effective, the exercise must be sufficiently long and regular.
The ideal is for this reason to practice a sport 2 to 3 times a week and to compel yourself to this rhythm for at least 3 months.
• Daily brisk walking: for those in a hurry who still want to exercise;
• cycling: leisure and health combined; • swimming: also a good ally for the back and the muscles.
• cardio-training, via fitness or on equipment, in the gym or at home.
The lunch break lends itself well to these sports which require less time than a more supervised or collective activity.
3 cholesterol-lowering foods
Garlic
Garlic plays an important role against hypertension and cholesterol levels, but also on tendinitis by fighting against a fungus called Candida Albicans, which promotes these phenomena. Regular consumption helps reduce blood pressure and maintain blood fluidity.
Apple
Hypocholesterolemic qualifies what is likely to lower lipids (fatty substances).
Apple pectin is full of it!
The Cretan Diet
The Cretan diet is a healthy diet rather than a slimming diet. It is particularly rich in fresh or dried fruits and vegetables and therefore low in animal fats, which promote “bad” cholesterol.
To sum up, we can never advise you enough to practice regular sports and eat a balanced diet for your health!
