I am currently in a low carb diet but my cholesterol results where high, do I need to change anything in my diet? Or is there any suggestion on what I can eat to reduce my cholesterol.

Best answer:

Answer by jesse
not sure. I really would try and eat more grains and maybe try drinking some metamucil. I have noticed people with sluggish bowels tend to have problems with high cholesterol. also make sure you are drinking enough water to get rid of toxins in your body.

Can you please help me with question

One of my co-workers told me that there are equal amounts of cholesterol in both the white and the yolk.

I told her that wasn’t true because the yolk is what has all the calories, fat, and cholesterol in it, so I’m doing a good thing by eating egg white omelettes, as opposed to regular ones that include the yolk.

Or am I? Who’s right?

Answer by Debi C
No cholesterol or fat in the white, very few calories. But there is protein.

I found out, after having a fasting cholesterol test, that I have slightly high cholesterol. I know that I need to eat better, less fat and all. I exercise regularly (brisk walking at least 40 to 50 minutes a day). Is there anything else I can do to lower my cholesterol?

Best answer:

Answer by Stephanie S
Just so you know, dietary cholesterol only comes from animal-based foods since it does not exist in plants. So, eat as many veggies or vegetables oils as you like. Probably cut down on dairy products and meats. Then make sure you exercise, including weight training. Other than those lifestyle changes, you can take a statin drug, but only if your doctor wants you to, but it sounds like you’re only slight over normal, so just make those lifestyle changes and you should be fine.

My hubby’s reading today was
HDL – 61
LDL – 167
Trigy – 89
Cholesterol ratio – 4.0
Total cholesterol – 246
Fasting glucose – 93
Blood pressure 138/80

Does this look normal or should he be on medication due to the high LDL? At what readings should a person be diagnosed with medication? Appreciate your kind replies.
Thanks so much for your kind reply, Pauline.

Its not bad… and definitely not bad enough to take medication. I am not a doctor but I am a natural health nut who has family with high cholesterol and I watch this stuff closely.

Medication is an absolute last resort. What you will usually get is Lipitor and one your on that, its pretty much forever…. its tailored that way.

The best way to lower cholesterol is change your diet.. figure out what foods created it in the first place (chips, mashed potatoes and gravies, red meat, bacon…..its pretty obvious what does unless you just naturally produce cholesterol in your bloodstream) and eliminate them. A good routine is always eat a whole grain breakfast within 30 minutes of waking in the morning (even if you dont eat breakfast, its the most important meal and your cholesterol will lower just by doing that in most cases)as well drink 8 to 16 oz of water, clean fresh water, not tap. Then eat fibre througout the day at least every two hours.. carrots, apples, fibre bar whatever…. drink lots of water (this is the nectar of life, it has been neglected for years but science is realizing its really important to keep cells in your body working properly). There is also another thing you can do… drink an ounce of apple-cider vinegar every morning….. it cleans the arteries…. and get a multi-vitamin that contains B50 and niacin…. these also help keep the arteries clean and feed the heart which is what we worry about with high cholesterol. I know this is long but I just wanted to help… I dont promote taking any pills for quick fix… because its not good for your body to take pills.. then you have to take other pills to offset side effects and the next thing you know you have 20 pills to take every day.. the body isnt designed to filter pills….. which is why I believe people are sick in this day and age.

Good Luck
