Limiting your risk factors for high cholesterol may help reduce your chances of having high cholesterol levels. Stick to a healthy diet which is low in cholesterol and saturated fats, maintain a healthy weight, get plenty of physical activity, and don’t smoke.
Unfortunately, due to genetics some people cannot keep their cholesterol levels down no matter how hard they try. For these people, taking cholesterol-lowering drugs may help prevent their cholesterol levels from soaring.
