FIBER FIBER FIBER!! This substance is a miracle worker when it comes to cholesterol! I see that you said oatmeal is part of your diet, but oatmeal isn't high enough in fiber to make that much difference. Whole grain cereals (Frosted Mini Wheats are awesome if you're like me, a sugar nut) are a great way to introduce fiber into your diet, as well as green veggies and fruits (I hate veggies, so I drink V8). How does it work? Well, bile, a digestive enzyme, is partially comprised of cholesterol. Fiber, as it's being digested, binds, or locks on to, bile and escorts it out of your body. In order to create more bile, your body has to "consume" some of your body's cholesterol, thereby lowering your total amount. Eating a lower cholesterol diet helps, but people who are young with higher cholesterol have their genetics to blame. Food-based cholesterol contributes to a lower percentage of your cholesterol than your body's natural processes do. Exercising sounds like a great idea to me. Not only will you feel healthier from losing some weight, but exercise increases the amount HDL (High density lipoprotein) cholesterol, which is an indicator of good health. When your "cholesterol is high" what your physician means is all the cholesterol BESIDES your HDL is high (LDLs, VLDLs, and Triglycerides). Keep up the exercise and fiber, and your blood vessels and heart will thank you!

There is no single best way of reducing it, rather a combined list of things. Diet and exercise will always benefit but with cholesterol in the family, that alone will not be enough. There are so many drugs avilable, and some will lower LDL, others triglycerides, some will raise your HDL and some will do any combination of these. If you do not know what some of the terms mean and whether or not you need drugs, www.essiestea.com is a good website to get some clarification. However you look at it, High cholesterol is dangerous and needs to be taken care of.
