High cholestrol, do you have it?

No I don't...nor high sugar but the effects and amount of people suffering from it is alarming these days

my dad does, or has had, he switched from butter to one of those logicol spreads, not sure which one it is, and I think he may also take some medication for it. And might it be your birthday today as well?? :)

No, I don't. But my father has high cholesterol and we pass days trying to make him feed himself right. I have the cholesterol of a newborn baby.

first, there are two kinds of cholesterol --- the good cholesterol (HDL) and the bad cholesterol (LDL).too much LDL in the blood can slowly build up in the inner walls of the arteries that feed the heart and brain. Together with other substances it can form plaque, a thick, hard deposit that can clog those arteries.on the other hand, high levels of HDL seems to protect one against heart attack. exercises and fiber-rich foods seem to lower bad cholesterol.

I have high Cholestrol. It is over 500. I am not on meds, as I cannot afford them. Exercise and diet does not help me at all.

My mum and husnband both have high cholesterol. (I'm sitting on high blood pressure for a while) My mum uses that special butter/margarine replacement spread and says that it has decreased hers a little even before she went on the medication. It was very expensive though (About $7.50 for a small tub)

Sometimes genetics suck dont they. I have my cholesterol under control with the help of logical but my blood sugar is a constant battle. I am bordering on needing to go on insulin because I cannot get it down. I have had diabetes now for 6 years and kept it under good control until this past two months.

I do not have high cholestrol in the accepted sense but it is in the top range of normal, so because of a heart condition I do take medication for it. The interesting thing is that my husband and I eat basically the same. The difference is that he is a fatty food fanatic, uses salt on all his meals, drinks etc but has perfect cholestrol GRRRR. I recommend that before you start on medication, you try to lower it naturally. Having said that though, some people naturally have high levels and it is not necessarily diet related.

I have very high cholestrol. I cannot afford the meds, so I am not taking them. Diet and exercise do not help me. I sit at over 500.

i do not have hight cholesterol but there is a family history of it at the moment it is very low and i just watch what i eat so far that has worked well and i`m hoping it will continue

no i do not

Hipocrates(Greek physician born in 460 BC and known as "Father of Medicine"),believed in the natural healing process of rest, a good diet, fresh air and cleanliness. Good diet always work.

Haven't had mine checked in awhile, I probably should.

no' i dont but about this is for high cholestrol patent Normal values for cholesterol is from 150 mg/dL to 250 mg/dL. so your values are still within the normal range. Increased cholesterol from the normal range is not good for the heart and body. How to avoid increased cholesterol values? Avoid fatty foods,( pork and chicken fat), dairy products ( cheese, butter, milk) eggs. Exercise is also good to burn out the excess fats in your body and avoid their deposition in your adipose tissue.

no i would have to say my heart is in good health ty i dont have any cholestrol problems ieat healthy and proper , i dont eat much take away or fatty foods :)

Fortunately, no. Have you had to change your diet? I am guessing you would have done. As I don't think you want to be on medication, unless the diets no working and its a last resort. I hope it sorts itself out the natural way. Big hug for you, take care of yourself, YOU!

Nooooooooooooooooo
