With the summer season in full swing and high temperatures raging throughout the day, it is imperative to maintain a healthy lifestyle now more than ever. With the<\/span> #HealthySummerWithActivLiving<\/b> campaign, let your mental and physical well-being take precedence over heat-induced lifestyle conditions.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is cholesterol<\/b>?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Multiple factors such as inflammation, <\/span>blood pressure<\/b>, and high levels of low<\/span>–<\/span>density lipoprotein (LDL) or <\/span>bad cholesterol<\/span> can cause cardiovascular diseases. <\/span>Cholesterol<\/b> is a compound of the sterol type of lipid, which is found in most body tissues. It is important in making cell walls, hormones, and tissues, and produces bile acid in the <\/span>liver<\/b>. Any temperature change may influence <\/span>cholesterol levels<\/span> as it regulates the survival sensitivity of mammalian cells to high temperatures. The change in climate and the human behavior that follows can affect your lipid metabolism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Climate changes affect cholesterol levels<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

You tend to step outside more often and are more active in <\/span>summers<\/b> as compared to winters. Not only seasonal change, but also a variety of factors come into play about rising <\/span>cholesterol levels<\/span>: temperature, light exposure, physical activities, food consumption patterns, and blood volume. In the colder months, people hole themselves up in their homes and get fewer exercises. When you consume a high-fat diet, it can thicken the lining of your arteries. This is where <\/span>LDL <\/span>cholesterol<\/b> increases. The shorter days of winter are marked by less sun exposure. This lowers the concentration of vitamin D, further increasing bad <\/span>cholesterol<\/b> levels<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Summers<\/span> come as a respite, displaying a positive balance of the lipid levels and higher levels of triglyceride and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) or <\/span>good cholesterol<\/span>. When you lower the risk of high <\/span>cholesterol levels<\/span>, you also, in a way, prevent <\/span>diabetes<\/b> and heart diseases and control <\/span>blood pressure<\/b>. Cold does not directly affect <\/span>cholesterol levels<\/span>, but your behavior in cold weather does. If you continue to eat healthy food and exercise the whole year, then you can keep your <\/span>cholesterol levels<\/span> in check.<\/span><\/p>\n

Keep cholesterol levels<\/b> in check\u00a0<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Utilize the <\/span>summer<\/span> months to improve your <\/span>HDL cholesterol<\/span>. Follow the tips given below to increase the level of <\/span>good cholesterol<\/span> in your body:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Eat heart-healthy <\/span>summer<\/span> food. Consume olives, which convert <\/span>bad cholesterol<\/span> into <\/span>good cholesterol<\/span>. Add oats to your <\/span>diet<\/b> as it binds with the bile acid in your gastrointestinal tract and protects the heart against <\/span>LDL cholesterol<\/span>. Flaxseeds are complex carbohydrates rich in lignans that can help lower <\/span>cholesterol<\/span>. The beta-carotene content of apricots prevents <\/span>LDL cholesterol<\/span> from clogging and oxidizing the arteries.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Avoid smoking cigarettes and consuming alcohol to reduce the risk of heart diseases.<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Take a walk after every meal. Stay active and exercise every day. Find a sport or an energizing activity to increase your <\/span>HDL cholesterol<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • If you are obese or overweight, try to lose weight to lead a long healthy life.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Here is your chance to make the most out of the <\/span>summer<\/b> season to stay active and lead a healthy life. <\/span><\/p>\n

    \n

    <\/h3>\n

    Key Takeaways<\/h3>\n
    \n
      \n
    • Cholesterol is a type of sterol lipid that is present in most body tissues. <\/span><\/li>\n
    • Duri<\/span>ng the colder months, people tend to stay indoors and engage in less physical activity. Consuming a high-fat diet can lead to thickening of the artery lining, which results in an increase in LDL cholesterol levels.\u00a0
      \n<\/span><\/li>\n
    • To counteract this, consider taking a walk after every meal. Staying active and exercising daily is important for maintaining good health.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
