My cholesterol is kind of high (240). Medication for it is really not for me. I’ve tried things like flaxseed, cinnamon, I’m average to thin weight, exercise most days and do try to watch my diet. Any help would be appreciated.
quit worrying about saturated fat and red meat. They do raise cholesterol but they raise HDL. When they determined that they were bad for cholesterol, they only looked at total cholesterol. The theory of good and bad had not been thought of. The things to look out for are trans-fats, vegetable oils, HFCS, powdered eggs and cheese, excess omega 6, etc. Eat your eggs and fish oils every day.
Never artificially lower your cholesterol as that has NEVER been proved to help. When I went to school, 250 was considered normal. How did we evolve in 30 years? Some studies show that you will live longer with high cholesterol than with low. Has to do with body repair, immune suppression, and increased cancer deaths.
