Title: Cholesterol – Good, Bad & How to Keep It Under Control
Cholesterol is necessary for many body functions. However, when LDL (bad cholesterol) is high, it leads to plaque buildup in the arteries — increasing the risk of heart attack and stroke.
Dr. Girish Kale recommends regular cholesterol check-ups, especially for adults with diabetes, obesity, or sedentary lifestyles.
Dr. Kale’s Tips for Maintaining Healthy Cholesterol Levels
- Avoid deep-fried, junk, and processed foods
- Include omega-3 rich foods such as walnuts, fish & flaxseeds
- Exercise for 30 minutes daily
- Quit smoking & limit alcohol intake
Dr. Kale explains that maintaining a healthy cholesterol level keeps your arteries clear, reduces heart attack risk, and supports long-term heart health.
