HDL levels can be improved through a form of regular exercise, either aerobic or weight training. Walking or jogging three times a week will help a person lose weight and body fat, which in turn can only help to also lower cholesterol levels. But if by doing all of the above, cholesterol levels still remain uncomfortably higher than desired, then in addition to all of that, a cholesterol-reducing medication may be required. In conclusion, by making oneself aware of eating habits, choosing those foods that are low in bad fats, avoiding those foods that are known to be high in cholesterol, and exercising regularly will help reduce and keep cholesterol down to safe and healthy levels. Cholesterol is a lipid.
Lipids are fats.
Lipids are transported through the bloodstream, where they attached to proteins, resulting in what is called lipoproteins. Some of these are good, such as the HDL s, aka high- density lipoproteins.
