High cholesterol can be due to genetics, diet, lack of exercise, or underlying conditions like thyroid issues or diabetes.
Common reasons:
Family history (genetic dyslipidemia)
High intake of oily, fried, or processed food
Low physical activity
Stress, smoking, alcohol
Hypothyroidism
Management:
Daily 30â45 mins brisk walk
Low-fat, high-fiber diet (avoid red meat, fried food)
Weight loss if overweight
Regular cholesterol checks
Medications if lifestyle alone isn't enough
