If you have high cholesterol, try to change your diet, instead of regular oil, change to canola or olive oil.Avoid fat that from chicken or meat, increase vegetable and take brown rice instead of white starchy.Do Regular exercise and lower your BMI. If it is too high need to take Lipitor ( cost high, can use generic ), needed prescription. Check if you have diabetic ? It may not be but it does not hurt to check. Avoid drinks but okay for social drinker but do not be a regular drinker. New therapy is coming in use, different vegetable for different purposes, chairaito is good too. Better melon can be used regularly.I hope you will find more information on line than we suggest, still could not stop suggesting..     Forgot to mention about Grape fruit, once you are in medication or not , avoid it.

OK this is so simple... all you have to understand is about LDL and HDL. You shoudl raise the HDL to control your ratio of HDL/LDL. I am not explaining about it.. you can google it. In general, raising your HDL helps you a lot.. and can avoid taking drug such as statin or crestor whatever. The trick is reduce fat intake, change the oil as suggested in other postings above. BUT do one thing... this is the greatest trick... DO NOT EAT ANY NUTS >> ALL NUTS ARE BAD.. EXCEPT WALNUTS. So everyday, eat half a cup of walnuts (no other types of nuts) Only walnuts.... Do ask the photocopy of the lab results of various colestrols of your blood from your doctor... coz you must do your own research.. do not depend on doctors.. coz doctors love to prescribe drugs.. and our efforts should be avoiding drugs as much as possible. Half a cup of walnuts everyday..  after two months.. your HDL should go up and LDL shoudl go down, improveing your ratio of HDL and LDL.. think this... LDL is bad cholestrol... and HDL is the one which scavenge LDL from your body!!!! so that's why you need to increase the raise HDL to tame this LDL.  LDL is the one which clogs your arteries. Jai WLANUTS....all other nuts Murdabaad.. ha ha
