Serum cholesterol
My total cholesterol is 191mg/dl. HDL is 34mg/dL and LDL is 137mg/dL (Martin-Hopkins calculation), both of which are out-of-range. But my triglycerides is a healthy 96mg/dL. Hemoglobin A1c results is 5.5%. BP is 141/88. All other CHEM20 blood-test results are within normal ranges. What is keeping my triglyceride ratio within range?

Considering your profile you need to exercise 35min brisk walking daily preceded by a warm up for 5min and followed by cool down for 5min. Then things will be fine. If LDL continues to be high even after 6months of regular exercise, then you need medicine
