Being obese puts you at risk of high cholesterol levels. But it’s not just high cholesterol that’s the problem. It’s the specific changes in your cholesterol panel, a test that breaks down the different types of cholesterol and other blood fats. In obesity, triglycerides and LDL—or “bad”—cholesterol tends to be high. HDL—or “good”—cholesterol is too low. Your body needs some cholesterol. Your liver makes the waxy substance to help build cells and store fat. Your body also uses it to make vitamin D, which is important for a healthy immune system.
The problem starts when there’s too much LDL in your bloodstream, a condition called hypercholesterolemia. That can create fatty deposits that build up (atherosclerosis), block your arteries, and eventually restrict blood flow. That could lead to a heart attack or stroke.
One reason being overweight or obese raises your odds of high cholesterol is because it affects the way your body makes and manages lipoproteins, including cholesterol and triglycerides -- another fatty substance, or lipid, your body needs in small amounts.
Triglycerides form in your liver from free fatty acids (fats) and a kind of glucose (sugar). If your body makes too many triglycerides, that can lead to higher levels of other lipoproteins as well, including cholesterol.
So being overweight or obese can raise your chances of high triglycerides and, in turn, high cholesterol because you’re more likely to:
Have increased fat tissue in your body, which means higher amounts of free fatty acids are delivered to your liver. This is especially true if you carry the extra weight around your middle. If you become insulin-resistant, which can also increase the amount of free fatty acids in your liver. This will cause inflammation throughout your body, which can affect the way your body manages HDL, or “good cholesterol,” and other lipoproteins
To lose weight, the amount of energy you use to be physically active must be greater than the amount of energy you take in as food. This means cutting back on calories and increasing your activity level. Take one step at a time so you aren’t overwhelmed:
Choose low-fat or fat-free dairy products. Eat lean meat instead of red meat, fish, and lean proteins (like chicken) without the skin. Include lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, and whole grains.
Reduce saturated fats and substitute healthy fats such as olive oil and nuts. Start moving with a simple activity such as walking for 10 minutes at a time. Gradually build up your endurance and move on to other activities.
