I have high cholesterol (280) and triglycerides (350). What should I do?
Asked by Male, 43 · 3 months ago
High cholesterol and triglycerides can increase your risk of heart disease. Eat a heart-healthy diet: avoid fried foods, red meat, butter, sweets, and processed snacks; instead, focus on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, fish, and nuts. Exercise regularly for at least 30 minutes a day, maintain a healthy weight, and avoid smoking and alcohol. Drink plenty of water and get enough sleep. Your doctor may also prescribe cholesterol-lowering medication (like statins or fibrates) if lifestyle changes are not enough. Regularly monitor your lipid levels to track progress.
