Spanish term or phrase:Para abatirlos (in this context)
This is from an article about eating healthy. This portion of the text is about cholesterol:
ANIQUILA EL COLESTEROL
La clave, es moderar el consumo de los alimentos que disparan los ínices de colesterol. Lo paradójico es que la eliminación total de estos no baja dichos niveles. *Para abatirolos*, hay que equilibrar la dieta...
Explanation: Again, as in your question where the cholesterol levels "disparan", the writer has chosen to use a stronger word than merely "reducir", "disminuir" or "bajar".

Thank you, Good Words, I like the idea of using a stronger word!
You’ll not only learn about how to bring your cholesterol levels down, how to increase your good cholesterol, normalise your blood pressure, reduce your dependency for medications and enjoy the relative savings, but you’ll also learn how to control diabetes and reduce the risk of heart disease. http://www.allabout-heart-disease.com/gylb1.html
You are not alone if your blood-cholesterol level is higher than it should be. Many people have levels that are higher than desirable for a healthy heart. It is important to bring the levels down, but how can you do this while following your special diet for dialysis? http://www.nwkidney.org/images/website/docs/nutrition/bloodf...
Fortunately, most people can bring down their blood cholesterol levels without medication by changing their diet and by becoming more active. http://www.annecollins.com/cholesterol-diet.htm
You might like to start your sentence with "To bring them down, to bring down your cholesterol levels, to bring your/the levels down" or your might like to rearrange the sentence and move this phrase to the middle or end.
