Anderson is an endocrinologist at the VA Medical Center in Lexington and a professor of clinical nutrition at the University of Kentucky School of Medicine. He plans to continue swimming and weight training six times a week. His cholesterol is 220. Having a normal cholesterol level does not mean someone is in no danger of heart disease. In a recent study, up to half of those who underwent heart bypass surgery had cholesterol levels below 200, and some patients' levels were below 100.
Researchers say exercise and diet are still very important.
