The trick is to boost the good kind and slash the bad.
Cholesterol performs more than one vital job: The fatlike substance is a building block for the intestinal acids that digest your food, it helps keep cell walls healthy, and it allows your body to produce all-important vitamin D. Like most things in life, however, too much can be problematic.
There is one other result that will show up on a cholesterol panel—triglycerides. These lipids are made of extra calories your body doesn’t need right away. They are stored in fat cells to be used as energy later on. But when triglycerides get too high, they contribute to the buildup of artery plaque, says Tamara Horwich, MD, medical director of the UCLA Cardiac Rehabilitation Program.
For starters, design a workout routine you can stick to: Exercise is the best way to boost helpful HDL, and it also slashes triglycerides. So aim for 150 minutes of moderate aerobic exercise a week—plus some additional strength training, says Dr. Horwich.
