I don't eat meat, don't like fried foods, don't like butter on toast. No one has extremely high cholesterol history in my family. My cholesterol was 234 when I was 15. I was about 93 lbs 3 years ago and still had over 200 cholesterol level. My mom didn't want me to go on cholesterol lowering medication because I might have to take them the rest of my life if I start taking them.
Some people make more than others, even though they eat healthfully.
You may be one of these people. Alice recommends that you have a breakdown of your cholesterol done, if you haven't already. This is important because it presents a clearer picture of the composition of your cholesterol. It also helps identify your potential risk of developing heart d isease. A cholesterol screen simply involves drawing some blood, usually first thing in the morning, after you have fasted for twelve hours.
