Controlling Cholesterol & Understanding Heart Disease
Controlling Cholesterol & Understanding Heart Disease
The Problem
We used to think that all cholesterol was bad and that a low cholesterol diet was the ticket to a healthy heart. Now we know that you do need some "good" cholesterol. What can you do?
Bad Cholesterol Control
- Make changes to your diet
- Exercise
- Control your weight
- Stop smoking
- Take medicines prescribed by your doctor
Treatments
Non-hydrogenated vegetable fat, like olive oil, can be a delicious substitute for butter or margarine. Eggs can also be a healthy breakfast food so long as you limit your cholesterol as well.
Avoid Smoking
Studies show that smoking cigarettes can increase your bad cholesterol levels. Quitting is the right choice for your health, and we can help you get there.
Medication
