How and why to lower your cholesterol levels
Your body naturally produces cholesterol and it is contained in certain foods. While some is vital for healthy cell function, too much cholesterol in the blood can increase the risk of heart and circulatory disease.

What is good and bad cholesterol?

Cholesterol teams up with proteins in the blood to carry it around the body. When the two are combined, these are called lipoproteins and there are two types: LDL (low-density lipoprotein), which is often known as ‘bad cholesterol’ because if you have more than you need it builds up on the artery walls. HDL (high-density lipoprotein) or ‘good cholesterol’ returns surplus cholesterol from the bloodstream to the liver, where it is removed.

Most people benefit from lowering their total cholesterol levels as high levels can lead to strokes, heart attacks, narrowing of the arteries and other problems.

How can I reduce my cholesterol levels?

There are a few key ways:

Eat a healthy balanced diet with a wide variety of fruit, vegetables and lean meat, and which is low in fatty food (especially those containing saturated or transfats)
Eat plenty of wholegrain cereals as well as pulses. These are high in soluble fibre, which helps to lower ‘bad’ cholesterol
Get or remain active. The British Heart Foundation suggests 150 minutes of activity a week at a minimum, such as brisk walking or cycling. BHF says that being active can increase the level of ‘good cholesterol’ in your blood. It can also help lower your blood pressure and help you to maintain a healthy weight
Cut down on saturated fats and replace with monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats. Monounsaturated are found in olive and rapeseed oils, avocados, nuts and seeds. Polyunsaturated fats are also found in nuts and seeds, as well as in corn oil and oily fish
What should my cholesterol level be?

Blood cholesterol is measured in units called millimoles per litre of blood, often shortened to mmol/L.
According to the NHS, as a general guide:

Total cholesterol levels should be: 5mmol/L or less for healthy adults (4mmol/L or less for those at high risk).
LDL levels should be 3mmol/L or less for healthy adults (2mmol/L or less for those at high risk).
An ideal level of HDL is above 1mmol/L. A lower level of HDL can increase your risk of heart disease.
Your ratio of total cholesterol to HDL is your total cholesterol level divided by your HDL level. Generally, this ratio should be below four, as a higher ratio increases your risk of heart disease.
How do genes affect cholesterol levels?

Certain families are at greater risk of high cholesterol. It is best to speak to your doctor if a close relative developed heart disease before 55 if a man, or 65 for a woman. ... See more

About Me

Jacqui is in her late 40’s and has been interested in exercise since being a child, where she competed for Middlesex Gymnastics through her school. She was also involved in a UK Military Band during her early teens, her claim to fame here was playing a trumpet all alone in the Royal Albert Hall aged around 11. In her early twenties joined a local Territorial Army Unit where she met her now husband. After having her two wonderful children, she decided she wanted to work in the fitness industry so took herself back to school.

Little Black Dress & Tuxedo

This is a Healthy Lifestyle Plan and not a DIET …. No such word in my world. I always say if there was one diet in the world that worked then there would be no fat people.

It is based around your lifestyle and your hormones which as we all know go up and down and in turn aids weight gain.
