Four Ways to Naturally Lower Your Cholesterol

Tip 1: Get More Exercise to Lower Cholesterol

Regular exercise can increase HDL ("good" cholesterol) and lower LDL ("bad" cholesterol) and triglycerides.

And, if you need one more reason not to skip exercise, the American Heart Association has found that physical inactivity can actually increase the risk of coronary artery disease.

The AHA recommends moderate intensity activity at least 30 minutes a day five days a week. Moderate intensity activity includes:

• Walking
• Gardening and yardwork
• Dancing
• Tennis
• Racquetball
• Swimming
