High cholesterol can cause all kinds of problems if left unchecked. It’s one of the first warning signs of serious heart disease because it’s an indication of the amount of artery-blocking materials floating through your circulatory system. There are, of course, hundreds of ways to lower your cholesterol, ranging from extreme diets to rigorous exercise and avoiding fatty foods.

But there’s a problem with the healthy diet and exercise industry. Companies that push their branded food options designed to lower cholesterol or organizations that sign you up for workouts are often focused on middle-aged or younger consumers. The assumption is that you can make huge changes to your life by following their rules to get healthier.

What about overweight folks over 50 or 60? Their options for getting a handle on their cholesterol are limited. Fortunately, there is one treatment that people who are tired of trying over and over again to follow diets and hardcore exercise regimens can get to lower their cholesterol: Dr. Tred’s laser lipo treatment at Slim Body Laser Spa.

The Risks of High Cholesterol

You’ve probably already gotten this lecture from your doctor, but too much LDL cholesterol (the “bad” kind) can cause artery blockages leading to stroke or heart attack. Some struggling to regulate their LDL cholesterol also experience chest pain. Even if an artery or blood vessel isn’t blocked, if it’s constricted in any way because of cholesterol build-up, you could experience other circulatory issues.

Lowering Cholesterol

There are several ways doctors recommend to reduce LDL cholesterol in your blood. Most emphasize the standard “nutrition and movement” solution, eating healthy foods and exercising regularly. The foods that raise cholesterol the fastest usually are high in sodium and animal fats. For some people, especially those over 60, exercise can be difficult, and if you’ve been eating fatty and salty foods your entire life, it will be difficult to stop and lower your cholesterol in any significant way.

Losing Weight

Fortunately, it’s much easier to maintain healthy lipid levels if you’re at a healthy weight. After nine sessions of treatment from Dr. Tred’s laser lipo device over three weeks, most patients lose between three and nine inches of subcutaneous fat, lowering their weight to healthy norms. Losing this much girth in only three weeks makes it easier to exercise and eat healthier because you feel better overall. The Slim Body Laser Spa makes it possible for anyone who is overweight at any age to head off potential cholesterol dangers before they cause serious health problems.

Dr. Tred’s laser lipo works by targeting the fatty areas of your body where subcutaneous fat tends to develop, usually around the midsection or the thighs. The lasers don’t burn the fat away or scorch your skin, they simply get the fat cells hiding under your skin to release the fat they hold there for safekeeping, flushing the fat from your body naturally. It’s a fast, easy way to avoid problems like high cholesterol and makes it easier to lead a healthier life. And you don’t need to exercise intensely or radically change your diet to maintain the results.
