Hello,
Cholesterol is necessary to create cell membranes and balance hormones in the body. When there is an excess of cholesterol in the blood, it will be very dangerous because it is the cause of an increase in chronic diseases. Make proactive changes to your diet and lifestyle to keep your cholesterol levels under control. Even very simple habits can help lower cholesterol very well.
Regular physical activity, sports. If you work in an office, try to take a short break every hour and walk around the office. Increase fiber in apples, beans, avocados, broccoli, artichokes, broccoli, papayas... Eat fish three times a week: Fish is a food with a very high content of omega-3 fatty acids, which can significantly reduces the level of cholesterol and triglycerides of the body. Drink 1 glass of wine or beer a day: Research shows that this habit can increase good cholesterol levels by 10%. Drinking green tea can also keep cholesterol levels under control. Choose smart fats: Use canola oil instead of vegetable oil. Pour a bottle of vinegar instead of the Thousand mix into the salad. Skip any sauces for pasta dishes that use tomato sauce or olive oil. Grilled fish instead of steak... Ask your doctor about cholesterol-lowering medications These options help lower cholesterol levels. Just switch, you will feel the difference.
If you still have questions about cholesterol-lowering methods, you can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System to be directly examined by doctors. Thank you for submitting your question to Vinmec.
