5. Get Moving
Exercise is the perfect complement to any attempt to take charge of your health. Regular exercise will dramatically improve your cholesterol profile. For a beginner, 30 minutes of walking most days of the week will dramatically improve a person’s well-being and strengthen the heart. Other ways to exercise might include finding a sport that you enjoy like dancing, swimming laps in a pool at the gym, or even riding a bike, or going for a jog. If your motivation to get fit is low, why not join an exercise group or find an exercise buddy.
Every activity adds up and is helpful to overall health. Even taking the stairs instead of the lift at work or at the store, or doing a few sit-ups while watching television can make a difference. Whatever form of exercise, it is recommended doing this regularly. Research shows that 150 minutes of exercise weekly is optimal.
