How can I reduce cholesterol and LDL, and increase HDL? How can I reduce my resting heart rate, which is high at 100?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
To reduce cholesterol and LDL and increase HDL, follow a low oil, high-fiber diet with fruits, vegetables, nuts, and whole grains. Exercise daily for 30 minutes, like brisk walking, to improve HDL and heart health. Avoid smoking, alcohol, and excess sugar. A resting heart rate of 100 is slightly high; it can improve with hydration, stress management, and fitness. Limit caffeine intake. You can book a Lipid Profile and TSH test to monitor cholesterol and check thyroid, which can affect heart rate.
