First, beginning a regular exercise program is one of the smartest things you can do. Do at least thirty minutes of some aerobic activity every day, if you can.

As for food, you might feel like you'll never have the list of do's and don'ts memorized. That's okay. Just remember the basics. Avoid a lot of saturated fat and sugar, and gradually increase your fiber intake (I say "gradually" because an abrupt increase in fiber could make you sick). Here's a run-down of how someone with high cholesterol should handle the different types of food:

At your age, you don't need to worry too much about cholesterol... yet. This is likely why your physician didn't say much about it. The fact is, having high cholesterol isn't necessarily a bad thing in and of itself, it's more of just a marker that can eventually lead to other problems.

Furthermore, the range of acceptable levels continues to decrease - so what was normal 5 years ago might be considered high today.

I'm not telling you to go against your doctor, but in my unprofessional, yet educated opinion, you do not need to be on medication for this yet, and probably wouldn't even need to consider it until at least 40. Just don't obsess over it, and if you have more questions ask your doctor.

The best way to resolve this is to just lose the weight and keep it off. The benefits from doing that alone will go much further health wise than just lowering your cholesterol. You know you're overweight, so obsessive over that and not the cholesterol. Your time will be much better spent...trust me!

in india there are several natural remedies. the one for cholesterol is to take garlic. garlic essence is sold as an across the counter food suplement in indian drug stores. this prevents the user from bearing the strong smell of garlic. if you don't care for the strong garlic smell here is a simple home remedy. take three or four pieces of garlic (not the full garlic), boil it in 100ml milk, allow it to cook, add two drops of honey. now eat the garlic and drink the remaining milk. continue with your diet rstriction and exercise.

chollestrol is tricky. basically any natural way is to lower your intake of salt, which has other benefits as well but dont take it fully out, saturated fats are bad, anything which you sit and eat and think o god thsi is good but know that becuase its cake its bad, will be bad. so just think like that and use them as little treats. Its hard but worth it! good luckl

If you could have a fast walking exercise for 1/2 hour in the early morning and also in the evening, without eating fats or carbohydrates that would help a lot in decreasing the high cholesterol within 2-3 weeks.

regards , Good luck

eggs are the richest form of lecithin, known to keep blood thin and moving freely this is a good thing , I would somehow trust an egg before i would trust a synthetic pill. and do take magnesium everyday 250mg and eat bananas.
