Agree with sib. Do your exercise and the rest makes little difference (including ingesting eggs and cholesterol).

I'll have to get mine checked again, its been 18 months since I had it done. Excessive alcohol and heart disease in the family have caused mine as I do eat pretty sensibly.

Statins work, and the side effects side seems benign, but long term, no one knows.
Your body makes its own cholesterol in the liver. Cut down total fat, particularly saturated fat, to below 30 grams a day and take 20 mcg/day of vitamin D. |

whats the Vit D supliment called Wur?
|
|
By:
Only about 25% of cholesterol comes from the foods you eat; the other 75% is produced by your body. For many people with high cholesterol, diet and exercise alone may not be enough.

Holland and Barrett do a 25 mcg. You can get it in the discount 'Semichem' type of shops and supermarkets but probably lower doses.

Mine's 5.9, the quack wants me to go on statins but I'm sure they're on a kickback. Avoid statins unless you are either obese or over the age of 60. Eat sensibly for 6 months and take anti-oxidants - should get it back below 5.0 without drugs |

GP`s are totally ignorant of the facts,they are no different from any other group of workers and do just as they are told,their recomendations on stains are a dissgrace-they do more harm than good-
