I have had these inside a garden shed for 3 years. Used to store power tools. Still going strong.

Mine is 37nmol/L

That's very insightful. I also have low triglycerides, high HDL and high LDL. Some doctors look at the high LDL and immediately say I…

I am happy with my fitness and gym performance (improvements over time). Still working on physique but not too worried. I totally agree…

I have been going to the gym for 2 years now. I don't know what my body fat% is but I am not too worried about my physique.

Wow @NEGATIVEVIBESONLY. I am amazed about this. The ONLY other negative thing in my blood test was a very mild vitamin D deficiency. I…

no time to make curries. just oven roast i add butter to mashed potatoes yes.

I am not one person disagreeing with all the doctors or decades of scientific peer reviewed research that says cholesterol is bad. What I…

There is no family history of high cholesterol. That's why I started to try to find out why I have it. Either way I have concluded that I…

I think the conversion factor is closer to 39…

I think you are correct. For a normal person, it is probably ok but not for me because of genetics. I want to reduce this by a small margin…

I also forgot to mention that I also have a protein shake sometime in the day.

Thanks for sharing. That is good. I think a CAC test is a much better indicator of heart health than cholesterol. The reason I use lite…

Thank you all for the comments. I have read through pretty much all of it but havn't had a chance to reply to each one individually because…

Thanks. Will check this out.

That's quite scary when you can have a heart attack so young when your cholesterol is low (the range given is 3.5 to 5.5 in the blood test…

I cook my own food. Mostly weights at the gym. Treadmill only for warmup.

Lmao. I am thinking mine is just genetics even though no one else in my family has high cholesterol.

I am not ignoring my GP's advice at all. On the contrary, I was already following what my GP has asked me to do.

Totally agree. It is all about the risk isn't it. You can have high cholesterol for some unknown reason (for example, my case). High…

This is what I have found as well. I always thought that high cholesterol was bad and it increases the risk of heart attacks but the actual…

My BMI is ~24. 173cm with 71kg.

I do keep a food log (use an app called myfitnesspal). I don't eat anything unhealthy as far I can tell. This is why it is confusing.

This might be the way to go. I might ask the doctor to refer me to a dietician. Thanks. I already have a food diary so should be relatively…

I already eat the kind of foods that my doctor wanted me to which is why I am not sure what more I can do. That's why I tried to find out…

I started the research because I couldn't explain the results. Youtube is a great source of info but may not be true. I thought I will…

I already eat the kind of foods that my doctor is asking me to. I eat generally healthy. So I am not sure why the LDL is high. This is what…

No it doesn't.

I recently got a blood test done and turns out my cholesterol is too high. I am in my early 30s. I go to the gym 2 to 3 times a week.…

Yeah it most likely is. I am guessing it is for the traded-in device. Hard to tell because it doesn't say in the email what it is for.
