People in the countryside with active lifestyle seldom have to think about how to control their cholesterol level.
Their lifestyle is enough to ensure that they have healthy cholesterol level.
For those in the cities, especially those who drive to work every day, and good food every day, they are very likely to face high cholesterol problem.
Those who eat meat and drink wine every day are the worst of all.
You can recognize them by their ruddy complexion, and a large tummy!
How to control your cholesterol?
The only way is to reduce intake of red meat, eggs, alcoholic beverage, and to exercise enough. You do not have to forbid yourself to take all your favorite food.
You can ask for a smaller cut of the steak, and you can eat one egg lesser every week. In this case, you will still enjoy your food while not feeling too deprived.
Even if you do not want to reduce your intake of meat, eggs and alcoholic beverage, you can increase your level of physical activity.
Even if you are taking medication to control the cholesterol level, it is still important that you make lifestyle choice.
That does not mean slim and thin persons do not have high cholesterol problem. They will have high cholesterol problem if they do not exercise enough, and eat junk food.
The problem with high cholesterol is that you feel healthy for many years.
You do not feel as if you are going to drop dead from heart attack soon.
If you lead a sedentary lifestyle for many years, you are at risk of having heart attack. It is not good for you to start exercising rigorously too.
The best is to start from simple exercise. You should let your body gets used to this new routine before you increase the intensity.
You can try to walk 10 minutes more every day, until you are so comfortable with it that you add in another five minutes.
After a few months, you will find that you are fitter and healthier, and your cholesterol is getting lower.
