With advice to lose weight through fasting, weight lifting, and walking, the patient successfully lowered his blood pressure from 170/90 to 130/69 in three months, without medication, and also reduced his cholesterol and blood sugar levels to normal.

This shows that simple lifestyle changes can have a significant impact on heart health, check out the complete review reported by Kapanlagi.com from various sources, Friday (7/2/2025).

1. Why Can Weight Affect Blood Pressure and Cholesterol?

Weight loss turns out to be the key to lowering cholesterol and blood pressure, according to Dr. Decsa.

He revealed that being overweight or obese can trigger a number of problems in the body, such as overactivation of the sympathetic nervous system that causes blood pressure to soar, as well as overactivation of the hormonal system that plays a role in regulating blood pressure.

In addition, excess fat cells can also trigger inflammation in blood vessels, which impacts heart health and cholesterol levels.

By gradually losing weight, we can control these three mechanisms, allowing cholesterol and blood pressure to gradually decrease.

2. What Activities Can Lower Cholesterol?

Fasting turns out to be not just a form of worship, but also an effective secret to losing weight!

In addition to helping burn fat, fasting also plays an important role in balancing blood sugar and cholesterol levels.

To maximize the benefits, perform fasting gradually, in accordance with your body's capabilities, and feel the positive changes that will come!

3. Weight Lifting

Weight lifting is not just a physical activity, but also a key to building impressive muscle mass and speeding up your body's metabolism!

By regularly engaging in weight lifting exercises, you can not only lose weight but also contribute to lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) while increasing good cholesterol (HDL).

So, get your lifting equipment ready and achieve your dream body while maintaining heart health!

4. Walking

Aiming for 8,000 steps every day can help maintain an ideal weight and improve heart health, as well as lower cholesterol and maintain metabolism.

A patient of Dr. Decsa, who previously had a poor diet, is now improving his diet by adding vegetable fiber and protein, which helps stabilize cholesterol and blood sugar levels.

It is recommended to increase the intake of vegetables, fruits, and choose lean protein sources while avoiding saturated fats and excess sugar.

Dr. Decsa emphasizes that lowering cholesterol and maintaining body health requires willpower and sacrifice, and with consistency, positive changes can be achieved.
