I am 15 and I have very high cholesterol for my age. I don't know how it has gotten so high because the only source of protein I eat is eggs and occasionally some beef. I exercise 4 times a week too. Can any of you guys tell me how I can reduce the number and what would happen if the numbers don't drop?
If you are already exercising 4 times a week, then if is probably hereditary. You should really discuss it with your doctor. With your age being so young they probably would want to stay away from putting you on a statin(medication). They may tell you to increase your cardio exercises and watch your diet better, beef and eggs are both high in cholesterol. You should also know the level of your HDL(good cholesterol) and LDL(bad cholesterol) The higher the HDL the better
