Managing high LDL levels in children involves a combination of lifestyle modifications and, in some cases, medications. Key strategies include:
Diet: Encourage a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit the intake of saturated and trans fats. Physical Activity: Promote regular physical activity, aiming for at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous exercise each day. Weight Management: Maintain a healthy weight through balanced nutrition and physical activity. Medications: In severe cases or when lifestyle changes are insufficient, medications like statins may be prescribed under close medical supervision.
