How do I get my cholesterol and triglycerides down?

I am 42 yrs old and my heart doctors nurse called me the other day to tell me to start taking a daily fish oil capsule and he would re check my lipid profile in 3 months. It all sounds kinda vague to me. I do not have a clue how to read the fat/polyunsaturated/cholesterol part of a food label. I would appreciate suggestions. I am not stupid, but never had to think about this kind of stuff before.

  1. Don't eat egg, and avoid high cholesterol food, if its too high, you might need medication -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.bestcreditrates.net http://www.online-discount-pharmacy1.com
  2. workout and diet
  3. Quit eating all the stuff with a chemistry list for a label and start eating tons of veggies and fatty fish the Omega stuff.
  4. You have to stay away from fat. No fried food, no hamburgers, steaks, potato chips french fries, anything with alot of fat in it. Basicly anyting that tastes good lol. You should also exercise, that will help ALOT. It takes a bit of time to lower it so don't go back next month and expect to see a big difference. Eat really good healthy food, exercise and take the supplements your doctor said and you should be able to lower it without taking pills. Also if it comes in a bag or box, it probley isn't good for you, so theres another tip. Good luck!
  5. Cut all the white fat off your meat, or stick to low fat protiens like fish and chicken. The omega 3 fish tablets are good. Watch your butter intake. Eat more fibre(veges/grains) and a little bit of exercise will help. Cut out pies, chips, takeaways and the bickies and cakes. If you need something sweet, try dark chocolate(in moderation). Alcohol is also a big contibutor to cholesterol.

  7. Eating cholesterol friendly foods and low cholesterol foods and low cholesterol diet / recipe. Eating foods with fibers including oats Increase physical activity. Eating Psyllium Husk Cutting the amount of fat you eat, particularly avoiding the saturated fat and tran fat, can lower your cholesterol level. Avoid following foods Food sources of cholesterol such as egg yolk, liver, kidney, brains, etc. Foods that contain trans fats i.e. hydrogenated oil or vegetable shortening. Choose a liquid or semi-soft variety of margarine. Remember, the softer the spread, the less trans fat it contains. Fatty meats Fatty spreads such as butter and cream High fat dairy products such as regular milk, cheese & cream. Reduce or eliminate alcohol intake. Please keep in mind that cholesterol HDL/LDL ratio is more important than individual levels of HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol.

  8. I'm 45 & my blood pressure & cholesterol are ave. & no Diabetes. I lowered my triglycerides significantly by eliminating, or limiting my alcohol consumption & just a little exercise. Remember, lots of sex is considered exercise & depending on if you're doing it right, can burn a lot of calories. Eat 5 smaller meals rather than 3 meals, it raises your metabolism burning calories while you sleep, also lots of fruits & vegetables. Reduce your portion sizes, a calorie is a calorie is a calorie, & if you burn as much as or more calories than you consume.... well you do the math. Also lifting weights helps, you can lift light, but muscle burns much more calories than fat! Just 1/2 hr. 3 days/week will dramatically strengthen your heart & body & you'll feel great! But consult w/ your Doctor before you start.

For example, the Hardee's Monster Thickburger contains an unbelievable 1,417 calories and 107g of fat -- almost double the maximum recommended amount of fat per day. And breakfasts can be almost as bad: Denny's French Slam has an astounding 1,196 calories and 83g of fat. However, the surprising find is that even items that seem healthy can be packed with calories, fat, sodium, and other unhealthy things. For example, a seemingly innocent Chicken BLT Salad at Wendy's packs 710 calories and 48g of fat, which is more than ¾ of the maximum daily amount of fat. Also, don't be fooled by Subway's "healthy" image; while it is true that they do have many healthy choices, some of their sandwiches are just as bad as any other fast food. You really want to stay away from that Double Meat Meatball Marinara Sub -- if a six-incher contains 780 calories and 41g of fat, imagine the 12 inch. just say no Let's be honest; you don't really need to super-size your meal or have the double version of your favorite burger with extra cheese. Why don't you try holding the mayo, having the salad, or getting the kiddie size? Don't miss the next Eating Well installment, which will cover the healthiest fast food choices.

  9. Take flax seed, its pretty nasty so you can purchase it in capsules, at a health food store. WalMart also has it.

  11. Triglycerides come from two sources: diet and your liver manufactures triglycerides. High levels can be caused by diet, direutics, beta blockers, and heredity. Direutics and beta blockers are prescirbed by physicians to lower high blood pressure. Obesity, type II diabetes, high refined carbohydrates in diet (like white bread, starches, candy, sugar, or honey), lack of exercise, heavy caffeine consumption, drinking alcoholic beverages, and cigarette smoking cause high triglycerides. You can reduce this level by quitting smoking, drinking, caffeine consumption, reducing your weight, and exercising. The tendency to build up high cholesterol may run in families, but excessively high levels are usually the result of a poor diet high in saturated fats and calories, combined with little or no exercise. Reduce your bad cholesterol by restricting saturated fats, calories, and including exercise in your daily routine. Fish oil tablets should increase HDL cholesterol (good cholesterol) and reduce triglyceride level. I recommend two 1,000mg tablets. This can be doubled if the lipid reading in three months remains high.
  12. Aren't you on any choloresterol medication? That will decrease the numbers somewhat..... geez, I'm on vytorin; it does help some, but you have to eat properly and exercise or so my doctor says......checking food labels is not that hard.......you'll be surprised as to what is actually in your products.
