Wrong diet<br \/>\nSaturated fat and trans fat in food are the main villains.<\/p>\n<p>Reason: Excessive consumption of red meat (beef, mutton), fatty dairy products, bakery products, and fried foods prompts the liver to produce more cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>2. Lack of exercise<br \/>\nLess physical activity can affect the body&#8217;s metabolism.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d36\u0d30\u0d40\u0d30\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d46 \u0d1a\u0d40\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24 \u0d15\u0d4a\u0d33\u0d38\u0d4d\u200c\u0d1f\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d4b\u0d7e \u0d2e\u0d41\u0d34\u0d41\u0d35\u0d7b \u0d09\u0d30\u0d41\u0d15\u0d3f \u0d2a\u0d41\u0d31\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d41 \u0d2a\u0d4b\u0d15\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d07\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d28\u0d46 \u0d1a\u0d46\u0d2f\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3e\u0d7d \/Dr Manoj Johnson\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m5KG2Vy7Kbw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Reason: When you do not exercise, the body does not convert fat into energy. This causes bad cholesterol to accumulate in the blood and good cholesterol (HDL) to decrease.<\/p>\n<p>3. Obesity<br \/>\nIncreased body weight directly affects cholesterol levels.<\/p>\n<p>Reason: People with a BMI of 30 or more or who have excess fat around their belly tend to have higher triglycerides and higher LDL (bad cholesterol).<\/p>\n<p>4. Smoking and alcohol<br \/>\nChemicals in tobacco damage blood vessels.<\/p>\n<p>Reason: Smoking reduces good cholesterol levels and helps bad cholesterol stick to the walls of arteries. Excessive alcohol consumption increases the amount of fat in the liver.<\/p>\n<p>5. Genetics<br \/>\nSome people have high cholesterol levels despite a good diet and exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Reason: People with a condition called &#8216;familial hypercholesterolemia&#8217; have a genetic predisposition to not properly remove cholesterol from their liver.<\/p>\n<p>6. Age and hormonal changes<br \/>\nCholesterol levels can naturally rise as we age.<\/p>\n<p>Reason: The liver&#8217;s efficiency decreases as we age. Additionally, the decrease in estrogen hormone after menopause in women can cause an increase in bad cholesterol.<\/p>\n<p>3 simple ways to reduce bad cholesterol:<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"\u0d36\u0d30\u0d40\u0d30\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3f\u0d32\u0d46 \u0d1a\u0d40\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24 \u0d15\u0d4a\u0d33\u0d38\u0d4d\u200c\u0d1f\u0d4d\u0d30\u0d4b\u0d7e \u0d2e\u0d41\u0d34\u0d41\u0d35\u0d7b \u0d09\u0d30\u0d41\u0d15\u0d3f \u0d2a\u0d41\u0d31\u0d24\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d41 \u0d2a\u0d4b\u0d15\u0d41\u0d02 \u0d07\u0d19\u0d4d\u0d19\u0d28\u0d46 \u0d1a\u0d46\u0d2f\u0d4d\u0d24\u0d3e\u0d7d \/Dr Manoj Johnson\" width=\"930\" height=\"523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m5KG2Vy7Kbw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Fiber-rich foods: Include oats, legumes, and fruits in your diet.<\/p>\n<p>Control oil: Reduce the use of coconut oil and palm oil and use olive oil or sunflower oil in moderation.<\/p>\n<p>Walking: Walk briskly for at least 30 minutes every day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here is an article prepared for the readers of your &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":29772,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-job"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/maxresdefault-6-5.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29771"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":29773,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29771\/revisions\/29773"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/29772"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thozhilvarthalatest.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
