My recent blood tests showed my cholesterol levels are a bit high. The doctor mentioned diet changes, but I'm trying to understand more. How can I help my liver reduce its cholesterol production naturally?

Our liver naturally makes most of our body's cholesterol, but eating too much saturated fat triggers it to make even more. Try adding soluble fiber like oats and apple to your diet, which helps block cholesterol absorption. If it's genetic, sometimes simple diet isn't enough and a mild statin is needed, so keep an eye on your lipid profile.

Please don't take this lightly or try to self-manage with just internet tips. I ignored my high cholesterol thinking I am young, until a routine scan showed heavy blockage. Go get a proper lipid profile test done and let a doctor guide you before it gets risky.

If your doctor says you are good to go, start brisk walking for 30-40 minutes daily. Exercise really helps in boosting HDL, which is the good cholesterol that carries the bad stuff back to the liver to be flushed out. Combined with avoiding fried street foods, it works wonders.

My doctor at Jupiter Hospital explained that cholesterol production is mostly down to genetics and liver function. You should get a prescription-based treatment plan if your levels are consistently high. Ask your doctor clearly if you need medication or if lifestyle changes are enough for your specific case.

Actually, thyroid issues can also cause your liver to produce or retain more cholesterol. I had the same issue until my thyroid was controlled. Make sure you get your TSH and lipid levels tested regularly and follow up with a specialist.
