I'm not completely positive that I have high levels of cholesterol, but I have a high suspicion that I do. While I get to the doctor, what are some things I can do to keep my cholesterol at normal levels?

My cardiologist recommends fish oil. They come in odorless. I take 2 a day (1,000mgs). Also, exercise of course. Stay away from any foods with trans fats and/or hydrogenated oils. Foor cooking use olive oil instead of vegtable oil. Olive oil is good for your heart. Below is an IVillage site with cholesterol info

Muesli would help. Most mueslis are based on oats which reduce your cholesterol level. Plain oatmeal would be OK as well or perhaps even better. A vegetarian diet would certainly reduce cholesterol levels as cholesterol comes from meat and other animal products.

Cook with Canola or Olive Oil, just for starters, reduce eggs. And read the labels of the food you buy make sure is low in cholesterol or has none at all.

Eat fibers like those found in grain bread, cereal, and dark green veggies. Some fibers can help remove the cholesterol circulating in your blood before it sticks to the walls.

my mom has been buying me this butter substitute called Benecol.. it's expensive, but instead of hurting your cholesterol like butter, it's supposed to actually help your cholesterol.. it tastes just as good as butter in my opinion.. the only disadvantage is that it costs a lot more than butter..

some doctors reccomend taking fish oil tablets. I have heard that niacin will help lower it too.
