Cholesterol/Triglycerides/ HDL LDL/ Are mine Okay?
Cholesterol - 194 Triglycerides - 149 HDL 58 LDL - 106 Cholesterol / HDL Ratio - 3.34 I am 27 years old, I wiegh 140 pound. I have been eating alot of fast food the last year or so, but are my numbers high? My doctor said they were fine, but they appear on the norm/High side, and I have read at different places on line, that mine is fine and that its not fine. Please help! Thanks Val

- It is kinda high for someone your age. It is hard I know but there are some more healthful choices at fast food rest. now. It will be a lot better to make healthy changes now than later like me. My friend and I did weight watchers and her cholesterol is high but it came down over 100 points after 4 mos. of a healthy lifestyle. This will be your only body. Take care of it. \ Look at it this way if you had a one of a kind car and it had to last a lifetime it would only take one time going to a place with bad gas and then your car spitting and sputtering and you wouldn't go back. Think of fast food as bad gas.
- yes its ok. as you age cholesterol levels will naturally increase
- They appear to be fine. I would recommend that you reduce your intake of partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, and deep fat fried foods.
