High Blood Cholesterol

Treatment - Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes

Weight management is an important part of TLC. If you are overweight, losing weight can help lower your LDL cholesterol. Weight management is especially important for people who have high triglyceride and/or low HDL levels and for people who are overweight and/or have a large waist measurement. Too large a waist is defined as a waist measurement of 40 or more inches for men and 35 or more inches for women.
