Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
HDL is good cholesterol – higher, the better. Your level is a bit low (28.2)
LDL is bad cholesterol – lower, the better. In the absence of any other risk factor 100 is ideal for LDL-C. In the presence of other diseases (especially Diabetes and/or heart disease like ischemia), 70 should be the aim. Your level is a bit high (111.8)
Keep your weight to normal / even a little less
Quit smoking, if you are a smoker
Continue regular EXERCISE – say walking or jogging - 30 minutes a day / at least 5 days in a week. Isometric exercise (like bull worker) is bad.
Healthy FOOD is a must. Avoid saturated fats – coconut oil, palm oil, butter, ghee, full cream milk...Avoid junk foods in particular – French fries have palm oil / Pizza has cheese / XXXXXXX sweets are made in ghee.../ Change to Poly-un-saturated oil – like sun flower oil. / Include Mono-un-saturated oil – Olive oil.
________________________________________________________________
Triglyceride is 235.2 The level is not alarming – Normal = less than 150 / Borderline = 150 to 199.
High = 200 to 499 / Very high = 500 or higher. A full 14-hour fasting is necessary for proper interpretation
It is generally genetic [inherited /running in family] / Obesity / Diabetes / Thyroid insufficiency / Alcohol / over eating / some drugs like Beta-blockers / Diuretics are a few other causes.
Eat fewer calories / Limit natural sugars:
Eat small, frequent meals and do not skip meals
Avoid late-night snacking
Add omega-3 fats in your diet – fatty fish (like mackerel, salmon, sardines, tuna) twice or more in a week / – soy foods, canola oil, flax seeds and walnuts / limit potatoes, yams, beans, corn and peas
Repeat the test in 2 to 3months.
Cholesterol can still be high, in spite of diet and exercise – you need drugs; because it is also manufactured in the liver – and that is determined by heredity. Statin is the first choice.
Good luck
God bless you
