My total cholesterol is 230, and I am trying everything under the sun to lower my numbers with taking meditcation. I have changed my diet by eating oatmeal, picking on nuts, only have brown rice and whole wheat pasta and looking for cereal high in soluble fiber. Since I incorporated high fiber foods in my diet, I have alot of bloating and gas. I dring about 8 glasses of water a day, but still have alot of gas pain. Is this normal?
man who has a high cholesterol level. Your weight may be discrepant with your diet and intake of saturated fat. 80% of our cholesterol comes from our food intake.I suspect that within 6 mo you could lower that total cholesterol with a diet consuming less than 35-40 total gms fat per day <15 gm saturated fat/ day. You would kill two birds with one stone.
I'm a bit taller than you but weigh about the same, My cholesterol was over 300 twenty years ago, probably the same ldl/hdl ratio that you have. I was told to take a statin by my primary doctor, and refused, tried to get the cholesterol down with diet and 'natural' meds. I did reduce my cholesterol level down to about 220, but had a first, then a second heart attack, then another, and have a total of eight stents.
Depends, what are your cholesterol numbers?

stefano,
I think exercise alone probably won't do too much of cholesterol. Diet is probably more effective. I recently am very successful in dropping body weight by diet. My blood pressure was high about this time last year. Its highest was 150/95. My weight was ~155 - 160 lb. Almost I was about to take blood pressure drug, but decide to try variety of good ways first. The body weight is the first target. Here are things I did and keep doing:

ll have to re evaluate what else you can add to the diet changes. Statins also can be helpful when diet is not decreasing cholesterol (and ironically, a healthier diet is increasing it). Please talk to your doctor for suggestions! Let us know what they say.
Depending on a patient’s particular profile, I suggest either the Dean Ornish heart-reversal diet or the South Beach Diet. If you know anything about heart disease, the Ornish diet is better because it
most effectively cleanses the system of excess fat.The South Beach Diet is usually for those with risk factors but no known heart disease. This diet allows more latitude and can still get a person to the recommended targets.
I have heard statin drugs cause diabetes. Can I reduce my cholesterol level by diet and exercise alone without taking medication?
5 ounces of most nuts, including almonds, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol may reduce the risk of heart disease. And even though almonds are relatively high in fat and calories, studies show that eating almonds can actually help with weight loss (their protein, fiber, and monounsaturated fats provide the feeling of fullness, preventing overeating).
A couple things to remember, most importantly is that your diet does not really contribute that much towards your cholesterol profile. Only about 10% comes from what we eat. The rest of the excess is created by your liver and may require a med like a statin to control as controlling the 10% from your diet won't get your number in line. These are very safe and very effective so check with your doctor.
