Boyz, my cholestral is 252!

bigbet1234 · May 2, 2006

Holy shit! i just got the results from a recent physical. to top it off i have lost about 20lbs and changed my eating and drinking habits, and the shit is off the chart.

the doc said she wants to see me in 4 more months. this is a reality check for me, i have made a life style change already, but this does nothing but motivate me more.

she said most cholestral comes from animal fat, i am thinking of going vegetarian. anyone know if beer can raise cholestral?

nice knowing you, what will you do in your next life?

Change your diet to foods with less fat and walk at least four times a week for about 30 minutes and you will drop your cholesterol below 200. I was at around 240 and now 170 simply by changing my diet and walking.

what beer does is actually raise your triglicerids count

Going vegetarian long term may not be the best for your health , there are certain aminoacids that can only be obtained through animal sources

I suggest simply moderation regarding fried foods/ give up fast food (french fries/onion rings etc), increase salad consumption etc , I am sure your physician can come up with a BALANCED plan for your goal

My cholestrol is almost low at 102 and Tryglic's are 107 (tested in March).

Lowfat diet and plenty of excercise..

Blood pressure was good except for the last day or so.:drink:

Stay away from FRIED foods and PARTIALLY HYDRAGYNATED OILS(TRANS FATS).

I find that swimming 20-30 minutes every 2 days to keep my heart in ship-shape :nohead:

Fishhead · May 2, 2006

Your DIET and FAMILY HISTORY are 5x more important than your exercise program when it comes to cholestral........although exercise is very important too!!

scarab · May 2, 2006

you mean the deep fried mars bar i have everyday is an issue...:drink:

i NEED TO GET MINE CHECKED...ANY WAY YOU CAN CHECK THIS AT HOME? OR A HOME TEST KIT?

wilheim · May 2, 2006

The only way I know of having chol. checked is to have blood drawn and have it sent to a lab by your doctor.

I Know That The Doctor Had To Put You On A Statin Drug :
Zocor
Lescol
Mevacor
Pravachol
Lipitor
Crestor

MrsCheater · May 2, 2006

WOW that is a big number, but at least you are getting it looked into and trying to get better. one thing i have heard is that a bowl of oatmeal a day will help lower your cholesterol. perhaps that was an oatmeal commercial (?????) but anyways, cholesterol is ONLY in animal products...plant products contain no cholesterol (which all cereals boast how they have no cholesterol...well DUH), so that is why beer has no cholesterol. some ppl are in the best shape, eat perfect, exercise and still have off the chart cholesterol levels...sometimes u need some meds too.

In moderation, LAYS are just fine.........never has it had TRANS FATS.

One of the healthier snacks......in moderation.
