Yikes ! High Cholesterol - Help !

Does it put you into metabolic syndrom risk is the better
question. This is often preceeded by high insulin
resistence. A thumb nail measure of this is the lipid
profile, including the triglyceride number you didn't
provide. A ratio of trig/hdl of 3 or less is a good number.
A trig higher then 150 is cause for concern. What was your
blood glucose number?

I just got the results of my 1st ever cholesterol test :

HDL - 42.46 = 1.1mmol/L Cholesterol - 228.33 = 5.9mmol/L
LDL - 167.1 = 4.33mmol/L Glucose normal

These numbers apparently put me in 'borderline' categories
for HDL and Cholesterol, and 'high risk' for LDL. I'm a
caucasian male 34 years old.

Any dietary advice ?

Thanks,

You don't report TGLs here. If you're eating starches and
other sugars regularly, you might try cutting them down
or out, replacing them with veggies and greens and
healthy fats.

Excuse me, Mark 'the Toad,' but the question was diet.

Just thought that you might want to know. 🙂

Trig = 92.4 Glucose = 83.6
