I know eating poorly and not exercising can lead to a build up of cholesterol and plaque in your heart’s arteries. I am just curious if one starts a diet and exercise program after a bunch of cholesterol has built up, will the build-up go away or is it there forever (other than surgery)?
Thanks for your insight, I appreciate it.

If you are on a low cholesterol diet, how much cholesterol should you consume per day?
My doctor told me my cholesterol is 260 and that I need to lower it.

I just found out that my cholesterol is in the highest category, including the LDL cholesterol. I am 25 years old, a normal weight, and I have been a vegetarian (but very close to a vegan) for most of my life. I am very upset and confused. Does anyone know why this might be happening?

My hubby’s reading today was
HDL – 61
LDL – 167
Trigy – 89
Cholesterol ratio – 4.0
Total cholesterol – 246
Fasting glucose – 93
Blood pressure 138/80
Does this look normal or should he be on medication due to the high LDL? At what readings should a person be diagnosed with medication? Appreciate your kind replies.

I am looking for some good cholesterol lowering foods and also some low cholesterol meals that are yummy. Hereditary reasons have caused me to get on a cholesterol medicine but I also want to be proactive in what I eat.
Does anyone have any recipes they can share? Or know of good yummy foods that lower cholesterol, that are good for you and such. I’m just not big into oatmeal at all. I ate way too much of it as a kid.

Do you only have to worry about getting high cholesterol if you eat animals? In health this week, I learned that you get high cholesterol from eating animal fat. I don’t eat gelatin, or any meat whatsoever! (Including seafood!)
