Dear- thanks for using HCM. Your cholesterol is high and triglycerides too. You need to start an aerobic exercise program which will help to increase your good cholesterol (HDL) and decrease the bad cholesterol (LDL).Exercises like walking,jogging,bike riding are good examples of aerobic exercise. Food rich in omega 3 like salmon,fish,tuna,almond are very helpful too. You should add citric juices and fruits that are rich in antioxidants to help to protect the heart from Coronary artery disease. High fiber, vegetables, whole grain products should be part of your diet.Avoid meat,fried food and high carbohydrate diet.
I hope that my advise will be helpful
