Getting sufficient sleep, reducing tobacco use, and managing stress can all positively influence cholesterol levels. Two lifestyle choices can provide even more substantial benefits.
For adults ages 20 or older, it's generally considered healthy for blood LDL cholesterol levels to be under 100 milligrams per deciliter.
If your cholesterol levels are elevated but your risk for heart disease is otherwise low, lifestyle changes should be your first step.
When cholesterol readings exceed 190 milligrams per deciliter, it typically leads to a statin prescription; however, lifestyle changes could be a viable first option.
