I'm kind of on the high side of the acceptable scale. The doc said diet and excercise. Well, I think I excercise enough, so what about diet? Just low fat stuff? I thought I kind of did that already... I hear oatmeal is suppose to help lower your levels. Cheerios too - I think any whole grain. |

Sometimes you can't get it all the way down. A low grade statin may have to be used. I am sure that I will have that issue in a couple years. All my grand parents and both my parents have this issue.cami bee - 2008-09-09 10:48 AM Aikidoman - 2008-09-09 12:33 PM What are some easy ways to lower cholesterol?

He could probably find that much money by searching through pockets of coats he hasn't warn for a few years. Evidently I wasn't clear - This thing puts out 1500 Cubic Feet (I may have said square earlier) of fog per minute and he is using it to play guitar Hero - a PS3 game that he plays ------ in the house. 1500 Cubic Feet will fill a 10x15x10 room. That's a ton of fog for a room that is smaller than that. It might just - and you sciantists help me here - start to ease out of the room and fill other parts of the house. that sounds cool... Tell him I'll buy it for $40, if he pays shipping... Ohhhhh - He's not getting rid of it. |

Lots of portion control when it comes to proteins. Always lean proteins. Lots of veggies and whole grains. Cut back on cooking oils, butter and the like. |

As bad as my health has been, I have outstanding cholesterol and lipid control. I eat way too much red meat, I would think, to keep it there, but it doesn't seem to matter. Good genes, in that respect, I guess. |

Sensei ![]() | ![]() grdavison - 2008-09-09 10:57 AM I figured.. but i was just spewing info :D no more pizza for him! Well, that ain't going to happen..... I had some nachos last night at Simon's. He is a famous chef, you may have seen him on TV. They were amazing. Next time I'm getting his sliders... I was also surrounded by models and in the same room with George Maloof, watching the Broncos kick arse. Not a bad night... ETA: Maybe that's why my choloesterol is a little high...

I am just the opposite - I find it hard to get up and get moving - but once I get thee blood pumping, I feel better. This generally causes problems because I take on too much and don;t give myseelf the rest I need to get better. I'm somewhat stupid. |

I need to start thinking about it and working on both ends of the spectrum. Heck, I'm pre-hypertensive at 28. |

All things down that road are bad. No suggestions, just a statement. |

Good genes, in that respect, I guess. This be troof. On the flipside, there are very healthy people with bad cholesterol, or high blood pressure, etc. I lucked out in the gene pool in all regards. No non-diet-induced high cholesterol in my family (dad's got high awhile back when he gained some weight, but he lost the weight), and my mom, sis and I have really low blood pressure and resting heart rate. Plus, my dad's side of the family lives FOREVER. So I'm banking on that too ![]() |

THey make those little armbands with the air pockets for tennis elbow. Only other thing is to rest it and not aggravate it any more. |

I sort of chuckled to myself when the doctor suggested that too. I think I have narrowed it down to diet.... Does your doc not know how much you exercise? I feel like they'd remember the patients who are doing an Ironman I don't tell many people. It puts too much pressure on me. The wife does the bragging, which makes me uncomfortable. I worry that people might think that I feel I'm some sort of stud or masochist - neither is true. I'm just a chubby kid with a dream to finish one. The doctor just asked "do you exercise a little, moderate, or a lot?". I asked what is a "lot" and they said something like 30 minutes a day. So I said "A LOT".... |
