Managing High Cholesterol

High cholesterol occurs when you have too much LDL ("bad") cholesterol in your blood. Over time, this excess can build up in your arteries, leading to plaque buildup which narrows the vessels and limits blood flow.

Treatment and Lifestyle

At Dyer Drug Company, we believe in a holistic approach to managing your health. Beyond medication, lifestyle changes are the cornerstone of cholesterol management:

• Heart-Healthy Diet: Focus on foods low in saturated fats and high in fiber (oats, beans, fruits).
• Regular Exercise: Aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity per week.
• Medication Adherence: If your doctor has prescribed statins or other cholesterol-lowering agents, take them exactly as directed.
