8 morning habits to lower cholesterol level

Pravrajya Suruchi

Fiber-Rich Breakfast: Start your day with a breakfast rich in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber helps trap cholesterol in your digestive system.

Warm Water with Lemon: While the evidence for a direct impact on cholesterol is limited, some studies suggest warm lemon water may promote digestion.

Exercise Routine: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most mornings.

Green Tea: Swap your coffee for green tea some mornings. Green tea contains antioxidants called catechins.

Mindfulness Practice: Chronic stress can contribute to unhealthy lifestyle choices and potentially higher cholesterol.

Check Labels and Choose Wisely: When preparing breakfast or packing snacks for later, be mindful of saturated and trans fats which can raise LDL cholesterol.

Measure and Monitor: Talk to your doctor about your cholesterol goals and recommended treatment plan.

Supplement Power: While not a replacement for a healthy diet and exercise, some studies suggest fish oil supplements containing omega-3 fatty acids may modestly lower triglycerides.
