The language in your text follows a battle theme: that of cholesterol being an enemy you have to go into combat to destroy, therefore you have words that can be translated literally such as aniquilar (annihilate, eradicate, wipe out, shoot down) disparan (to fire/shoot-shoot up in this context), eliminación (synonyms of eliminate: annihilate, eradicate, defeat, do away with,), abatir (can be translated as shoot down, as in enemy planes), so you could try to stick to the theme in the translation.

"Combat Cholesterol" is a catchy title:
"Combat Cholesterol with a Healthy Lifestyle"

"Combat Cholesterol Without Drugs"
http://www.fitness2live.com.au/default.asp?pg=searchresults&...
"Eliminate" is often used within a sentence e.g.
Raspberries are an excellent source of vitamin C, the antioxidant vitamin, and a good source of the soluble fiber pectin which helps the body to eliminate cholesterol and environmental toxins.

Apples are rich in pectin, a soluble fiber, which helps the body to eliminate cholesterol and also protects against environmental toxins.

Many individuals have made some rather passionate attempts to cut down and even eliminate cholesterol from their diets. However, I am afraid that they are fighting a losing battle, as my professor discovered. It is impossible to completely eliminate cholesterol from the diet, and it is not good to try.

One of the frustrations people face when attempting to lower their cholesterol is the fact that while too much fat and cholesterol in the diet will shoot up blood cholesterol, too little fat and a poor balance of fat to carbohydrate and protein in your diet can also negatively affect your cholesterol level.

But you should make sure, via periodic blood tests, that your cholesterol level doesn't shoot up.
