ldl is high need advise
My last cholestrol test showed:
total cholestrol: 263 hdl: 38 ldl: 200 one year ago my previous test showed: total cholestrol 243 hdl 40 ldl 172 I am 51 years of age, my parents/sister/brother do not have heart disease, I don't smoke, but I am overweight. My doctor recommended that I go on medication. I told her that I would like to retake the test in about 4 months, in the mean time I will watch my diet and exercise. Do you think that I should go on medication, any advise would be helpful? Thank you |

Do you > think that I should go on medication, any advise would be > helpful? Thank you Yes you should. You had a bad profile a year ago and did nothing because you don't want to change your eating habits or exercise. The medication is entirely for individuals like yourself without motivation to do anything. You need to be honest to yourself about that. The next procrastination step is to wait for a heart attack and really be serious about eating and exercise. The older you get the worse your profile becomes. Your HDL is now low and you start getting more risk factors to deal with. |

Just stay away from bad fats and bad carbs and get enough vits/minerals. Read "the cholesterol myths" by Uffe Ravnskov if you really want to know the truth about cholesterol. In fact at your age high cholesterol is a marker for longevity. That is a simple fact. |
