I am a 44 /woman. Been battling high choles. for a few years. Tried to control with diet & exercise (vegan for 1 yr & only brought down to 210). 1st round of statin brought down to 202 but my triglyc. went up so they removed me from statin & asked me to give diet & exercise a try again. No longer vegan but do eat pretty healthy & very busy person. current weight/125 & 5'3". Last lipid was chol. 269 / Trigly. 1,611. Doc said he wants me to eat healthy & repeat test in 6 mths. Is this normal

Diet , exercise and lifestyle is very important in cholesterol control. Try to eat a vegetarian diet, avoid meat, eggs, n all fatty fried food n sweets. Do brisk exercise for thirty minutes everyday so that it increases your cardiac activity and burns calories. Use refined sunflower or olive oil. Drink plenty of water and eat fresh fruits. Lose some weight.
