Question: I just learned I have hich cholesterol!?
I have slightly elevated levels of high cholesterol!.
My overall cholesterol is OK
but my good cholesterol HDL is a little low, it's 38 & should be 40
and my bad cholesterol is 158 and should be 150!.
Immediately the nurse practitioner (who couldn't find her butt with both hands) wanted to push her nazi agenda on me by telling me to pop pills!. I am far more interested in my health however, and wanted to know are some other ways of helping lower my cholesterol!? I am 40lbs heavier than I was last year, and was wondering if I lost my weight would that help!?
I also have high blood pressure that I know is due at least in part to weight gain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Answers:
Right on !! It's just slightly elevated so if you lost some weight I'm certain that it would come down to below normal, as would your BP!. Take care, DonnaWww@Answer-Health@Com
