lipid management

Lipid management involves monitoring and controlling the levels of fats in your blood, primarily cholesterol and triglycerides, to reduce the risk of heart disease. Healthy habits like eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking are key. When necessary, healthcare providers may prescribe medications such as statins to help lower bad cholesterol (LDL) and raise good cholesterol (HDL). Regular blood tests help track progress and adjust treatment. Effective lipid management helps keep your arteries clear and your heart healthy over the long term.
