Managing high LDL levels involves lifestyle changes and, in some cases, medication:
- Dietary Changes: Eating a heart-healthy diet with more fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins can help lower LDL levels. - Exercise: Engaging in regular physical activity can improve cholesterol levels. - Medications: Statins, bile acid sequestrants, and other medications may be prescribed to lower LDL levels. - Lifestyle Modifications: Quitting smoking and reducing alcohol intake can also contribute to better cholesterol management.
