Re: Cholesterol
High Cholesterol runs in my family. Diet alone didn't work for me so I'm on meds for it. As for the numbers my doc is fine with it being 210 or below.

Re: Cholesterol
eat a high fiber diet.
losing weight and excercising and eating high fiber and healthy foods will help your numbers drop

I know it runs in my family also, I just don't know what a good number is. My mom always says my Grandma's is through the roof but she is 96 and still going. My Dad had it too but he just had quadruple bypass.
I'm scared now. I'm only 30 and I have a BMI of 24. I'm on a diet so it will get lower. Does loosing weight make cholesterol lower?
If it's hereditary it's sometimes harder to lower it enough thru diet and exercise alone. I had to go on the meds when that failed for me. My 105 pound DD has high #"s too so she might need to start the meds soon also.

Re: Cholesterol
Once I get over this darn sinus infection I'll have to start walking again. Even though I've been eatting better I haven't been exercising.
How is blood pressure related to this? Mine is pretty low: 90 or 60... or was it 60 over 90

90/60 is more the norm than 60/90.... It's the bottom # they really watch for with low blood pressure. I hope you are successful with lowering you #'s with the diet and exercise

If it runs high in your family that is something that diet alone can't help with sometimes. My Mom is a little 100 pounder and had her #'s over 300! So don't beat yourself up!

Re: Cholesterol

Ok.. I'm not feeling so bad now about what I've been eating- that doesn't seem to be the cause. The recommended daily intake of cholesterol intake is 300mg for a 2000 cal diet. I have less than 100mg a day (I keep track of what I eat) most days.
I'm going to have to try and exercise. Maybe take some vitamins. I don't want to go on medication!
I'm sending you lower Cholesterol vibes  (those are lower vibes ) Good Luck!
