Is rice bad for cholesterol?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Rice as altogether is not either bad or good for cholesterol. White rice has high cholesterol and also it is easily digestible, so one tends to overeat. On the other hand, brown rice is whole grain with low glycemic index, has less cholesterol and more fiber which promotes fullness.

I'm monitoring my blood pressure, and it's been around 15595 for the past three days. I've been feeling a slight sensitive vibration in my head, too. This is the first time my blood pressure has been high like this, and I haven't taken any medication before. What would you recommend I do? Is there a specific tablet I should consider?

I'm a bit concerned about some of my recent health numbers and would love some insight. My creatinine level came back at 0.66, my HbA1c is 6.3, and my triglycerides are at 208. Also, my LDL is 100.40. On top of that, I'm dealing with blood pressure issues. Can you help me understand what these numbers mean for my overall health and if there's anything specific I should be doing or watching out for?
Your creatinine level is within normal range. Your HbA1c level is slightly elevated, indicating borderline diabetes control. Your triglyceride level is high, and your LDL cholesterol level is also elevated. For your blood pressure problems, you can start taking a combination medication like Telmisartan 40mg + Amlodipine 5mg once daily to help control your blood pressure. Additionally, you can take Atorvastatin 20mg at night to help lower your LDL cholesterol level. It is also important to make lifestyle changes such as following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption to improve your overall health.
