Moderate-to-high intensity physical activity improves lipid profiles (reducing LDL, Triglycerides, and Total Cholesterol while increasing HDL) in patients with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD).

If you have coronary artery disease and your doctor clears you for exercise, engaging in moderate-to-high intensity physical activity (like brisk walking, cycling, or interval training) for 30 minutes, 3-5 times a week, can significantly improve your cholesterol levels by lowering bad cholesterol (LDL) and triglycerides while raising good cholesterol (HDL). High-intensity interval training (HIIT) may offer greater lipid benefits than moderate continuous training, but always consult your cardiologist before starting.
