supposed that the Ref. range of HDL (the good fat) is (35-100) and result is (28) and LDL (the bad fat) is (70-160) and result is (63.4),
can anyone that has some medicial knowledge or experiences to such matter explian the side eddect of both ? and any problem of getthing below the average? and how to incsrease the HDL? as long as it’s good fat, how to gain higher level, at least withing the range.
I will appreciate your explaination, regards
Not a medical expert but learned that it is truly all about balance in the body. Too much fat traveling in the bloodstream over time clogs up the arteries. This also damages the blood vessels which cause the clogging. Fats get trapped. So you need to think of foods that keep your vessels smooth and healthy. Too little fat in the diet will upset cell health. You need to learn how to balance. If genetics is against you, you just have to do your best with diet and exercise. If that does not work, then think of a Rx drug to help in stopping the liver from producing too much cholesterol.
I am in your boat as my LDL was 143 and my HDL was 84. As you can see my good cholesterol is great. I am trying to lower the LDL by using olive or canola oil when cooking. I take flaxseed capsules and/or eat fish such as salmon or tuna (low sodium), oatmeal, bran, beans, veggies and fruits. I can eat one egg a week but use egg beaters most of the time. I eat whole wheat or whole grain breads and pastas. Just eat more plant food and less meats in your diet. You must also exercise regularly. I walk everyday and do aerobics once or twice a week. I do not want to take statins.
