Because excess body weight and abdominal fat contribute to high cholesterol, 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity plus ≥ 2 resistance exercise sessions per week are recommended to support weight loss (5–10% of initial body weight), and more importantly, the maintenance of a healthy body weight.[1] Other lifestyle modifications include limiting alcohol consumption (≤ 10 grams of pure alcohol per day) and quitting smoking.[1]
