Cholesterol is a type of fat found in your blood. Your liver makes cholesterol for your body. The liver also uses cholesterol to make bile, a fluid that plays a vital role in the processing and digestion of fats. Cholesterol is essential for making a number of critical hormones, including the stress hormone cortisol. Cholesterol is also used to make the sex hormones testosterone, progesterone, and estrogen.

Ways to control Cholesterol: Lifestyle changes can help you to keep your medication dose low and control the cholesterol. 1. Eat heart-healthy foods: First and foremost, important is to reduce saturated fats. Saturated fats, found primarily in red meat and full-fat dairy products, raise your total cholesterol.

Moderate physical activity can help raise high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the "good" cholesterol. With your doctor's consultation, you can work up to at least 30 minutes of exercise five times a week.

3. Quit smoking: Quitting smoking improves your HDL cholesterol level. The benefits occur quickly: Within 20 minutes of quitting, your blood pressure and heart rate recover from the cigarette-induced spike Within three months of quitting, your blood circulation and lung function begin to improve Within a year of quitting, your risk of heart disease is half that of a smoker.

4. Lose weight: Carrying even a few extra pounds contributes to high cholesterol. Small changes add up. If you drink sugary beverages, switch to tap water. Look for ways to incorporate more activity into your daily routine, such as using the stairs instead of taking the elevator or parking farther from your office. Take walks during breaks at work.

5. Drink alcohol only in moderation: If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. Too much alcohol can lead to serious health problems, including high blood pressure, heart failure and strokes. But, it not recommended, to a person who doesn’t drink alcohol to start drinking it.

Gaining weight is a lot easier than taking it off. But if you follow these 10 tips, you can beat that stubborn fat! Let’s see some of the effective weight loss tips:

1. Drink plenty of water Drinking water can boost metabolism by 24–30% over a period of 1–1.5 hours, helping you burn off a few more calorie. Research shows that drinking water can help you lose weight by helping you burn more calories and reducing your appetite when consumed before meals.

2. Eat fruits and vegetables Fruits and vegetables have several properties that make them effective for weight loss. They contain few calories but a lot of fiber. Their high-water content gives them low energy density, making them very filling. Studies show that people who eat fruits and vegetables tend to weigh less.

3. Eat only when hungry On a low-carb diet you should aim to eat only when hungry, but just as important if you want to become lean: Don’t eat if you’re not hungry. Needless snacking will stall your weight loss.

4. Do Aerobic Exercise Doing aerobic exercise(cardio) is an excellent way to burn calories and improve your physical and mental health. It appears to be particularly effective for losing belly fat, the unhealthy fat that tends to build up around your organs and cause metabolic disease.

5. Get enough sleep Sleep is highly underrated but may be just as important as eating healthy and exercising. Studies show that poor sleep is one of the strongest risk factors for obesity, as it’s linked to an 89% increased risk of obesity in children and 55% in adults.

6. Stop drinking sugary drinks Sugar is bad, but sugar in liquid form is even worse. Studies show that calories from liquid sugar may be the single most fattening aspect of the modern diet. So, stop drinking sugary drinks like Soda and Fruit juice because they are loaded with sugar, artificial flavors and colors. They not just add empty calories, but they also contribute in weight gain.

7. Do yoga Many yoga practices burn fewer calories than traditional exercise (e.g., jogging, brisk walking); however, yoga can increase one's mindfulness and the way one relates to their body. So, individuals will become more aware of what they are eating and make better food choices.

8. Eat smaller portions Portion control or simply eating less or counting calories can be very useful. Reducing portion size helps you lose weight because smaller portions means you consume fewer calories. If you exercise as well as making your portion sizes smaller, you will lose more weight and find it easier to maintain your weight.

9. Take a walk daily If you are looking at weight loss, ideally you must go for a brisk walk for at least 45 minutes daily. But if you cannot do that, try walking half an hour in morning and evening. If you don’t know, walking massages the internal organs and helps increase metabolism. Try to walk 1000 steps after every meal. This is the best mantra if you want to lose weight quickly.

10. Build muscles Adding muscle mass will help your body burn more calories at rest. When combined with a proper diet, this will increase your metabolism and help you burn off excess body fat at a much faster rate. One pound of muscle takes up about 20% less space than a pound of fat, so building muscle will also help give you a lean and toned appearance that many people desire.
