Hi Everyone I was advised by my doctor to take Lipanthyl and No Uric for three consecutive months and hereunder is the latest laboratory report with the following results: CHOL : 231 mg/dl (Out of Range) HDL : 50.839 mg/dl LDL : 152 mg/dl TRIG : 140 mg/dl GLU-F : 83 mg/dl I am turning 47 yrs old this month 5’4” in height and weighing 138.891 lbs. I don’t smoke and drink alcohol even soda. I do basic exercise 2-3 times a week. I don’t eat red meat but only chicken and fish. I eat 2 cups of rice once in a week and boiled banana or sweet potato. I drink Anlene milk without sugar before bedtime regularly. I eat vegetables and fruits regularly too. Hardly ever do I take fatty foods. Every morning right after I woke up I drink water with lemon on empty stomach while consuming a lot of mineral water the rest of the day. As part of my diet I usually make my own vegetable salad with thousand island salad dressing and shredded cheddar cheese. Is this healthy or not? Now my question since my cholesterol level of 231 mg/dl is out of range does it mean I am on high risk to have cardiovascular illness or in particular stroke and heart attack? I would appreciate if anyone will care to reply. Thank you.

Hello the following is from Wikipedia on Cholesterol please read more fully for information. The figure below refer to Total Cholesterol. Level mg/dL Level mmol/L Interpretation < 200 240 > 6.2 High risk The 1987 report of National Cholesterol Education Program Adult Treatment Panels suggests the total blood cholesterol level should be: 240 mg/dL high cholesterol.[71] The American Heart Association provides a similar set of guidelines for total (fasting) blood cholesterol levels and risk for heart disease:[72] The information can be found here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cholesterol It is a very complex subject and change can't always be achieved by diet alone. However getting your levels down does minimise risks long term. Hope this helps.
