Exercising Is The Most Effective Method For Controlling Cholesterol Levels

Cholesterol is something that is in every human being. This is just one of the many things that are produced by the person in order to function properly.

Unfortunately, eating food and drinking alcohol that is high in sugar, fat and oil may do more harm than good to a person. The individual will soon suffer from high blood pressure, diabetes, heart attack or a stroke.   The good news is there is a way to prevent this before it happens.

It will take a lot of sacrifice and hard work on the part of the individual because the body will not be able to sustain the effects because of aging.   Apart from eating less and making changes in the diet, the best way to lower cholesterol is by exercising. This will increase the heart rate and metabolism in the body allowing it to expel the harmful oils, which are detrimental to one's health.    

Those who have not exercised before should first consult with a physician to find out which is safe. Those who have a heart condition may not do something rigorous and will have to rely on something that is low impact such as walking or stretching.   Should the physician say the patient can participate in high impact exercises; there is running, swimming, strength training, aerobics and bicycling.

The type of exercise will depend on several factors and not only medical history. This will also depend on gender, age and weight.   The doctor can make a plan, then the person should relay this to his in home personal trainer as to what is safe or not. From there, an exercise program can be made and all the patient has to do is follow it.  

After four to eight weeks, there will be improvements in the levels of good and bad cholesterol in the body as well as reduction in the current body fat percentage and weight of the person.   Exercising is also considered to be the safest way because the use of drugs has known to cause side effects when the person takes this.  

If the individual does not have time to enroll in a gym, there are other ways to pump those muscles and increase the heart rate. For starters, men, women and seniors can hire a home trainer who will come to your house, train you and even bring his or hers own equipment.  

During any exercise, it is best to drink lots of water. This will prevent the body from dehydration that often leads to exhaustion. Instead of going to the fountain every few minutes, it is best to bring a water bottle.   Someone once said that health is wealth. By exercising, one will be able to lower the bad cholesterol in the body and live longer than those who choose to do nothing but are aware of the dangers of not making some lifestyle changes.
