During the cycle there are afew effective things to control the levels: - Having a healthy well balanced diet with good fat in it & avoiding bad fats.
- Doing cardiovascular exercises even if you are in a bulking phase. Heart still a muscles and need to be trained.
- Using Omega supplements & especially omega 3.
