Dream - Consuming fatty foods during Hari Raya can increase cholesterol levels. The body will also feel uncomfortable when experiencing it.
"Usually, high cholesterol levels are treated by consuming medications. However, in reality, cholesterol levels can be lowered by several simple things done at home. Take a look at ways to lower cholesterol levels from Internal Medicine Specialist, Ika Devi."
1. Losing Weight
Losing weight can help control cholesterol levels. This is because cholesterol levels are related to diabetes or other metabolic conditions.
"If we successfully reduce body weight by 10%, it is very helpful in reducing cholesterol."
tutur Ika dalam unggahan Instagram. Ika's story in Instagram post.
2. Sports
"Exercising can control weight, blood sugar levels, and cholesterol. Ika suggests exercising 5 times with a duration of half an hour."
Discover the preferred type of sports in order to make it easier to exercise regularly. Some people find it easier to exercise with friends and their motivation is higher. Good sports can be done not only in the morning or afternoon. Sahabat Dream can adjust their time with daily activities to minimize excuses for not exercising. Don't forget to adjust the type of sport to the body condition and do stretching before and after exercising to prevent injuries.
3. Stop Smoking Habit
"Cigarettes contain nicotine, and this nicotine will inhibit what is called cholesterol from being deposited in the liver and instead the cholesterol can enter the heart, causing problems in the heart," said Dr. Ika. That's why this habit should be abandoned immediately to maintain heart health and reduce cholesterol levels."
4. Increase Fiber Consumption
Consuming fiber can help lower and control cholesterol levels. "Vegetables such as broccoli and green vegetables are very helpful in lowering cholesterol," he said.
Friend of Dream who doesn't like consuming fruits or vegetables can consume them in the form of smoothies or juice even though both are better consumed as a whole. You can also turn them into baked chips with not too much added salt for a healthier option.
