THE PRACTICAL WELLNESS

There's more to the cholesterol than just diet and exercise
Alcohol Consumption: Excessive alcohol intake can raise cholesterol and triglyceride levels.Stress: Chronic stress can lead to increased cholesterol levels due to the release of stress hormones like cortisol.Body Weight: Even if you're exercising, carrying extra weight can increase cholesterol levels, particularly if there's a higher amount of visceral fat.Lack of Sleep: Poor sleep quality or sleep disorders can negatively impact cholesterol levels.Smoking: Smoking lowers HDL (good) cholesterol and increases LDL (bad) cholesterol and triglycerides.Consulting a healthcare provider for a comprehensive assessment can help identify specific causes in your case and tailor an appropriate management plan.
