Lipid Lowering

Lipid lowering refers to strategies used to reduce levels of fats like cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood, which are linked to the risk of heart disease. Elevated lipids can lead to plaque buildup in arteries, narrowing them and making heart problems more likely. Ways to lower lipids include lifestyle changes such as a healthier diet, regular exercise, and weight management, as well as medications like statins when necessary. The goal is to maintain healthy lipid levels to support cardiovascular health and reduce the risk of heart attacks and strokes.
