High Blood Cholesterol & Exercise

11/24/2013

 
Picture
 Cholesterol is a waxy, fat-like substance that is found in your bloodstream and in all your body’s cells. Your body needs cholesterol to work properly. However, a high level of cholesterol in your blood can cause fatty deposits to build up in your arteries and block normal blood flow. If your arteries are blocked you could have a heart attack (blocked arteries to the heart) or stroke (blocked arteries to the brain).
Most of the cholesterol in your blood is made by the liver. The rest of your blood cholesterol is affected by other factors, such as the type of food that you eat. For example, the amount of cholesterol in your blood is influenced by the total amount of fat and kind of fat in your diet
.  Exercise and a clean eating diet will help reduce bad cholesterol (LDL) and increase good cholesterol (HDL).

    Author Bio

    Natatia Gemmell. 
    No matter how busy life gets, eating well and exercising are always a part of my weekly schedule.

    I help men and women reduce health risks, reduce stress, feel stronger, and reduce inflammation with nutrition and exercise plans that work for their lifestyles. 

    I LOVE "clean" eating and functional fitness and share my passion for exercising and clean eating with my clients, friends and family, and I want to share with you too. 

    Enjoy the recipes in my recipe blog, and let me know how your next recipe turns out.
