Answer 4

I am 58, and was the same, and have been taking medicine for my high cholesterol and blood pressure. It is going out to eat often that effected my levels including triglycerides that was 950. Since started to eat at home more often and eat properly, my level dropped about 250. My good cholesterol increased too. So, it is going to the restaurants that is bad because does not allow to control the fat intake. I also quit smoking and am walking a lot too. The pills are there to prevent any clogging, along with blood thinners with aspirin.

Answer 5

You should avoid red meat and replace it with white meat (poultry) and fish. Stop all other seafood. Sugar is a primary cause of excessive cholesterol, so you really have to avoid sweet food. Junk food is usually fried in high temperature oil, so avoid junk food too. It's important to cut down saturated fats. when you drink milk, take the skimmed one.

Answer 6

Your best bet is to see a dietician but here are some tips in the mean time.

Food To Avoid

Eggs – Eggs have very high levels of LDL. (Note that the white of an egg is not bad for you.)

Fats and Oils – Fried foods, hydrogenated oils and excess amount of other oils are all considered to be very high in LDL.

Sugar Products – Most sugar products will increase LDL almost exclusively. Avoid them.

Red Meat Products – All red meat products have very high levels of HDL and should be avoided.

Shell Fish – Though overall fish are healthy and help to reduce cholesterol this is not the case with shellfish. Crabs, shrimp (prawns), lobster and other such foods are very high in LDL.

Dairy Products – All dairy products have high levels of LDL. It is recommended that you use non-fat dairy products instead.

Fast Foods – Most, if not all fast foods are very high in fat content and increase LDL.

FOODS TO EAT

Low-Fat / Non-Fat Dairy Products – Low fat or no-fat dairy products are much better options than their normal counterparts but make sure you know the actual fat content of the item.

Non-Shell Fish – All fish are high in Omega-3 and as a result they actually help lower cholesterol.

Soy Products – Soy products high in protein are good for reducing cholesterol.

Nuts – Nuts such as walnut, almond, pecan and peanut all help to reduce cholesterol if they are eaten in their natural form.

Answer 7

I didnt get any information from doc either.
Avoid sugar as much as possible, it gets converted into something which then gets converted into cholesterol. (sorry, I forgot exact terms) eat more salad and vegatables, drink lots of water, avoid red meat, pork and milk chocolate (dark choc is Ok below 3 oz. a day-probably) try to excercise (not easy when you feel exhausted all the time) dont eat twinkies. my triglicerides were over 500, and I'm less than 25lbs overweight!

Answer 8

what you need is a book on high cholesterol, a person needs about 100g of cholesterol per day.You need to know how to work out your own count, so get a decent book.

Answer 9

I can't believe you've had a blood test to confirm your cholesterol count and no-one has you given you the information you're asking for here.
Did you get it done at one of these mobiles parked on a supermarket car park??
If you did, more fool you.
If you went to your GP then that's unprofessional of them.
You could of course research it yourself......................

Dairy products
