The Cholesterol Mistakes Almost Everyone Makes in Their 30s
“I’m young. I don’t need to worry about cholesterol yet.”
It’s a common myth. Cholesterol can begin rising in your early 30s, even when you eat right and feel healthy.
Not All Cholesterol Is Bad
Your Body Needs the RIGHT Kind
Think of cholesterol as two types of co-workers inside your body:
High-density Lipoprotein (HDL)
HDL (The Cleaner)
Clears excess cholesterol from your arteries
Low-density Lipoprotein (LDL)
LDL (The Clogger)
Sticks to artery walls and slows blood flow
You want more cleaners, fewer cloggers.
Manage Your Cholesterol
Ways to Increase HDL
Move more
Eat healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, Omega-3s
Quit smoking
Maintain a healthy weight
Ways to Lower LDL
Cut fried and processed foods
Load up on fiber such as your veggies, oats, beans
Add Omega-3s for balance and heart support
When you take Omega-3s consistently, you’ll notice:
You might feel less stiffness and pain
Your focus might get sharper
Your skin might feel smoother and less dry
Your cholesterol may go down
You might lose excess weight
