Question 3

I'm trying to understand how I can bring down my total cholesterol and bad cholesterol. This is my first blood test and I've attached the report. What steps should I take or changes should I make to improve these numbers?

Accepted Answer

To reduce your total cholesterol and bad cholesterol levels, also known as LDL cholesterol, you can make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. Additionally, medication may be prescribed by your doctor to help lower cholesterol levels. For reducing cholesterol levels, you can start by taking a statin medication such as Atorvastatin (brand name Lipitor) at a dose of 10-20 mg once daily. This medication helps lower LDL cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease. In addition to medication, it is important to follow a low-cholesterol diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Regular exercise, such as brisk walking or cycling, for at least 30 minutes a day can also help improve cholesterol levels. It is important to follow up with your doctor for regular monitoring of your cholesterol levels and to adjust your treatment plan as needed.

I'm a bit worried because my LDL is 145 and HDL is 50. It looks like my cholesterol levels are high. I don't really have any bad habits, don't eat a lot, and maintain a moderate weight. What's going on with my cholesterol?
