27 and high cholesterol?

Question

I'm 27 years of age , 5 feet 2 inches and 47 kilos, I am petite and suffer from high cholesterol due to medication I was on for my skin. What are some of the ways in addition to eating fat free foods that I can lower my cholesterol?

Answer 1

You are correct to avoid saturated fats, and try to eat foods low in cholesterol. So avoid shellfish like shrimp, and avoid egg yolks. Increase your SOLUBLE fiber to 7 grams daily, a good way is simply take metamucil or eat bunches of cheerios, or oatbran daily. And increase your water intake with increased dietary fibers. You can also take plant sterols, I like the Nature Made cholestoff product.

Answer 2

My advice to see your GP asap to see if he or she can prescribe you medication to lower your cholesterol or to give a medication instead of the first one that wont increase your blood cholesterol.

Answer 3

for breakfast start eating oatmeal or bran or mixed fruit and in 3 weeks will lower ur cholesterol alot.
