How to quickly lower High Cholestrol of 221 (HDL=38)?

Question

I'm a man of 38 years age and having normal health.

Please give me some tips so that I can lower my Cholestrol which is currently 221.

Answer 1

I lowered mine from 276 to 156. I'm a 36 year old male. I did it without any medication. I just started eating healthy. I cut out all refined sugar and refined flour. I started eating lots of fruits and vegetables, and only whole grains; no processed foods, and definitely no fast foods. It didn't lower all at once, but I got great results after less than three months.

I keep meat and dairy products to a minimum (less than 10% of my diet). So I'm not eating dairy for breakfast, and I don't have any meat for most meals.

In my experience, my cholesterol was a reflection of my diet. If you're willing to change your diet to eat healthy foods, you will lower your cholesterol. Stay away from the drugs. Diet is actually much more effective, and you don't get the nasty side effects that the drugs have. Plus, you'll be more healthy in general.

Shop mostly in the produce section of the grocery store.

Answer 3

Try healthy food at first. 221 is high but you just 38y.o. you can try with out medications. If healthy food does not work in few month, you need some medications like Lipitor 10 or Provachol or Vitorine, depend of your doctor say. If you got the number of your cholesterol doing blood work as Comprehensive profile and Basic metabolic panel, ask your doctor for VAP - it is detailed cholesterol test, not every doctor proscribing.
Good lack to you.

Answer 4

They are called Cheerios in the UK. It's a breakfast cereal. Try eating apples and anything high fibre. Olive oil is very good for lowering cholesterol. You could try some of those yoghurt drinks as well -some of them advertise lowering cholesterol as a selling feature. Legumes such as lentils and just about any bean will help because they are high in fibre as well. Stay away from hydrogenated fats such as cheese, (unless it's soya based), real butter, dairy products - unless it's yoghurt - meat products, unless it's lean meat such as chicken. Brown rice is also a great source of fibre and has cholesterol lowering properties. Yes to...... Lentils beans green vegetables apples and pears brown rice oats lean meats yoghurt and yoghurt drinks with cholesterol reducing agents olive oil soya based products Vegetables and fruits - fresh bran flakes and yes, Cheerios. No to..... Red meats bacon eggs (ok in moderation) "greasy food items" dairy products - butter, cheese, milk and cream animal based products in general are high Hydrogenated fats and pre-packaged food items containing hydrogenates. Look on the label.
