In this situation, regular physical exercise is essential—primarily to improve overall physical fitness and prevent overweight or obesity. Strict dietary management is also crucial: adopt a light, low-fat diet; avoid overeating; and carefully control both total food intake and overall caloric consumption. Emphasizing aerobic exercise is particularly beneficial for increasing high-density lipoprotein (HDL) levels.
