On Medication For High Cholesterol. Had Been Drinking Energy Drinks. Can It Be The Reason For High Cholesterol?

Hi,energy drinks give you empty calories and usually contain caffeine and other stimulants,hence its better to avoid drinking them frequently,as indirectly they can affect your lipid profile as they have lot of empty calories.Do consume low fat,low salt,high fiber rich food-like fruits,vegetables,oats etc and avoid junk food and bakery items.Remember its not only drugs which have a role to play in reducing cholesterol but also exercise and good dietary habits which are equally important.Take care and all the best.
