Cholesterol management involves maintaining healthy levels of cholesterol in the body to reduce the risk of heart disease and other health issues. Cholesterol is a waxy substance found in the blood, and it comes in two main types: LDL (low-density lipoprotein), often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, and HDL (high-density lipoprotein), known as "good" cholesterol. To manage cholesterol levels, individuals can adopt a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats while limiting saturated and trans fats. Regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, and avoiding tobacco use are also important strategies for effective cholesterol management.
