Research Notes on High Cholesterol and Exercise


Exercise has been shown to lower high cholesterol levels while reducing your risk of developing heart disease. By regularly exercising, you can raise HDL cholesterol levels, and reduce LDL cholesterol levels.1 Used in combination with a heart healthy diet, exercise may be helpful in reducing the need for cholesterol-lowering drugs.2

Fast Facts:

  • Exercise triggers a metabolic response that converts cholesterol to "good" cholesterol.2
  • Aerobic exercises are best for lowering high cholesterol.1
  • Before undertaking any fitness regimen, consult with your doctor first.
