From Jennifer Moll, your Guide to Cholesterol
Having a high LDL, or "bad", cholesterol is a risk factor for developing heart disease down the road. Although your LDL levels can be influenced by genes, they can also be increased by the type of lifestyle that you lead. Luckily, there are a few things you can do that may help you to keep your LDL cholesterol levels within a healthy range.


Keeping your LDL cholesterol levels within normal range can help you lower your risk. There are many ways you can lower your LDL, ranging from maintaining a healthy lifestyle to taking cholesterol-lowering medications.

Alcohol Effects On Health and the Heart
Although moderate consumption of alcohol can significantly raise HDL levels, it can also lower your LDL. This article will tell you how much alcohol can lower your LDL, as well as how much alcohol you would need to drink to see these results.

Smoking Effects and Your Cholesterol
Smoking cessation not only has a large impact on levels of HDL, or "good" cholesterol, it can also slightly lower LDL levels. This article will show you the detrimental effects that smoking has on your heart health.

Is There a Link Between Exercise and Cholesterol?
Exercise is not only good for losing weight, but moderate amounts of it may help lower your cholesterol levels -- especially your "bad" cholesterol. Find out which exercises help lower your LDL cholesterol the most, and how much exercise you need each day.
