Hello

Yes your doctor is absolutely right and there is nothing alarming. However as your total cholesterol levels are slightly deranged so it’s advisable that you should start following healthy lifestyle modifications.

Ok. So what is best way to lower ldl. Mine is 169 thus accounting for the total number of 260. Everything in normal or optimal range except ldl. My dr. does not want to start statins. I started fish oil supplements, garlic, co q 10, and ginger root. Just trying to get a handle on getting this done as quickly as possible. I play competitive tennis 3-5 times a week so I’m already quite active.
