Question:
What are some good ways to lower cholesterol for a 16-year-old?
Just recently I went to the doctor's, and had a blood test. They called me back a few days later and said my cholesterl was 261!!! I'm 16, and, yes, slightly overweight (120 lbs for 5'3") but the number just blew me away, espcially since I try to eat fairly healthy and go for walks every day. Since I doubt they'll put me on any type of medication bc of my age, what are some other good ways I could tryto lower it?
Answers:
You can try going vegan...cholesterol ONLY comes from animals products.
This link has videos of two people who went on a vegan diet to help their diabetes,but they also lowered their cholesterol on a vegan diet.
