I’m 37 also have high cholesterol family history of HBP.and heart disease. I would like to change medicines a nurse said Diovan may help or better than what I’m on now.I’m overweight but have cut back on diet and salt. Do I change medicines or should I stop them and use natural means? Does the breathing machine RESPeRATE really lower blood pressure?

The only diet that ever worked for me is The South Beach Diet, which centers around low (and natural) sugars. However it is slightly high in terms of cholesterol. My gf eats a lot of high cal/high sugar foods, but insists she can burn them off with exercise. She drinks alot of coffee so she is always very active. But still, i’m not sure if that is safe. Anyhow we are trying to loose weight so obviously all of the above (fat, sugar, and Cals.) should be watched. But if we had to pick and choose, which ones are worse?

I had my cholesterol checked this week, and my Dr. said that my good cholesterol (HDL) was high and my bad cholesterol(LDL) was low… but she said my triglycerides were high.
I’m 23 years old. I’m 5’3 and weigh about 105 lbs. I excercise regulary and eat mainly healthy.. I barely eat red meat if ever at all…
My Dr. told me it could be genetics (since my moms side of the family has high triglycerides). The only thing I can think of that would make it go kinda high is my alcohol consumption. I only drink on the weekends though if I do??
I was wondering if anyone knows of a supplement that I could take that has WORKED FOR THEM in helping in lowering triglycerides. I’m getting my cholesterol rechecked in 3 months so I’m going to lower my alchol consumption to about nothing and keep my diet and exercise, but I would like to take some sort of supplement that can help as well…..
Any suggestions from somewhere out there who has successfully lowered their triglycerides??

I recently started a weight gaining diet however i have high cholesterol levels. Does anyone know any high calorie foods with very low cholesterol??
Thank you.

I don’t understand why my doctor says I have HIGH cholesterol. Total 197; highest it’s ever been. I am 63, have run 6 marathons and still run 30+ miles per week, eat a very low fat diet. Most people consider me a “health nut”. It just doesn’t seem logical to me.
