Exercise and Weight Reduction
Obesity frequently elevates cholesterol levels in both very-low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) and LDL fractions, raises triglyceride levels, lowers HDL cholesterol levels, raises blood pressure and promotes glucose intolerance. Weight loss lowers total cholesterol and its LDL and VLDL fractions, lowers triglycerides and raises HDL cholesterol.18 Weight loss also lowers blood pressure and improves glycemic control.
Patients are more likely to comply with exercise programs that are tailored to meet individual goals, interests and needs.Most patients benefit from aerobic exercise that targets large muscle groups, performed for 30 minutes four or more times a week.18 Shorter, but more frequent, aerobic exercise sessions provide similar benefits. Overweight patients should engage in low-intensity exercise more frequently and for longer duration
