I'm 5 10 and 127 pounds. Does that mean that I ate too much high cholesterol foods? Can I rule out saturated fat because i'm not overweight?
I'm age 16 by the way
my cholesterol is 5.48 which is above 4.80 which is the average for teens
I eat 2 eggs per day
Lots of meat
My parents are fine
Sounds like hereditary. This can be handed down generation to generation. My mother-in-law died at 39 from cholesterol so high that it formed around all her vital organs. It can also come up to the skin, looking like little white pimples which will grow larger, sometimes having to be surgically removed. My husband inherited this problem and before treatment had a cholesterol number of over 400, and diet did nothing for him. There are great Cholesterol meds on the market now which will keep it fluid in your blood stream thus keeping it from hardening in your arteries and around your vital organs…..This is very important, so keep on it. (after these latest meds for cholesterol, his count is under 200.)
