I am 12 years old and i have high cholesterol (genettically) almost eveyrone one my dads side had it. I got tested yesterday and I have a totalt cholesterol of 223, and good cholesterol 50 (i am a girl) About 6 months ago i had 216, and about a year or 2 ago it was 236. Anyway, my mom ha slimited me to 2 fast food places a month (like mcdonalds) and since i lov epopcorn, but it is high in cholesterol 1 bag of popcorn a week. Besides that, I usually eat a salad or chicken patty with milk at school, get a small snack at home (like fruits and sometimes chips) and then my mom cooks something for dinner. Well, since im young i cant take pills to lower my cholesterol, but what else can i do. I exercise sometimes, and i play basketball twice a week for about an hour. what other things can i do and what other things can i eat to lower my cholesterol?
