Lipid profile and higher cholesterol

Hi, Welcome to the forum. I am really glad to help you out. Your triglyceride levels are definitely on the higher side.

The optimum levels should be < 150 mg/dl. At your levels, you likely need a medication to bring down the same.

Fenofibrate is a commonly used drug for the same. Your LDL levels are not much raised. Dietary precautions and exercise will surely play an important role in the same.

You need to avoid fried foods and sweets and do regular exercise for at least 45 minutes daily. I sincerely hope that helps. Take care.

Thank you Dr. I can't understand the relation between sweets and cholesterol. OK I am bit fond of sweets, but not towards fried one. I will avoid sweets. Already started medication (Fibrovas) But I felt giddy, muscular pain, as I used to take one tablet at night. So Dr suggested me to take half now. Hope your suggestion - exercise and healthy food habits bring me to normal level. Thanks.

After almost three months, thourgh diet procedures prescribed by specialists of E health forum, even if I have not taken medicines, my new LIPID profiles reads : Total Cholesterol (155), TGL (170), HDL (46), LDL (75), VLDL (34), TC/HDL (3.3) and LDL/HDL (1.6)
Is it OK? Please advice how to increase better cholesterol? In fact I begin to take raw garlic in the morning and also cloves in between. Even though I am pure vegetarian, I started to take SEACOD (cod liver) tablets - twice a daily, since in E health forum I read that they contain some fatty acids which reduce TGL. Probabally this resulted in decreasing the cholesterol level.

apr, There is a strong relationship between consuming sweets and triglyceride levels. excess sugars that fail to burn off circulate in the blood stream as tryglycerides. This is why the doctor said to avoid sweets and increase exercise.
