A sedentary lifestyle and poor eating habits can lead to high blood cholesterol, leading to heart disease and strokes.
The webmd website mentioned the 7 most prominent mistakes that many people make that raise harmful cholesterol in the blood as follows:
Neglecting to exercise
Regular exercise is one of the best ways to control blood cholesterol, so all you have to do is walk, swim, or bike for 40 minutes 3 or 4 times a week.
Sitting for a long time
Sitting for long periods of time is linked to obesity, heart disease, high blood pressure, and high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides.
Smoking
Smoking is linked to high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and cholesterol, so quitting smoking can improve cholesterol levels and protect your arteries.
overweight
Excess weight, especially around the abdominal area, can raise bad cholesterol (LDL) and lower the good type (HDL).
Excessive intake of saturated fats
Eating beef, lamb and full-fat dairy products such as butter, cream, milk, cheese and yogurt can raise the level of harmful LDL cholesterol.
Neglecting to eat foods rich in fiber
There are two types of fiber: soluble, which dissolves in water, and insoluble, both of which are beneficial for heart health, but soluble fiber in particular helps lower your cholesterol levels.
Eat trans fats
Sometimes called partially hydrogenated fats or oils, found in fried foods, pastries, pizza, cakes, cookies, and many pre-packaged foods raises your bad cholesterol levels, so check food labels to limit trans fats and eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and dairy products. Low-fat poultry, fish and nuts.
