I had some blood work done last week and got the results this morning. Apparently, my "bad" cholesterol is high.
What is the best way to deal with this? My doctor said to stay away from fatty foods but to be honest I am a pretty healthy eater. I do not exercise much so would increasing that help? -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

i wouldn't say you have bad cholesterol unless you have multiple tests done in a reasonable amount of time.
if you go out and have a high cholesterol meal for some amount of time before your test it can actually skew the results. drinking heavily within a week of a blood test can skew other results too. |

I had to fast to have the tests done and haven't drank in about 3 weeks. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |
