Brief Answer:
Cholesterol Profile is Borderline High
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Your cholesterol profile is Borderline high which can be managed with diet only.
Your triglycerides are in an acceptable range and HDL (which is good cholesterol) is pretty good. With some dietary and lifestyle modification deranged LDL will be well controlled.
Kindly follow the routine described below for the next 3 months and then repeat the cholesterol profile:
1. High Fiber diet/ DASH diet
2. No drinking/smoking
3. No junk
4. Daily Physical activity for 40 min
Make these changes and get a follow-up Lipid Profile after 3 months. Maintaining a good cholesterol profile keeps you away from coronary artery disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
