Soft plaque was high so i have given up on all sweet foods and thankfully my cholesterol is now low. Will this prevent me from having a heart attack? 61 year old female. Thank you

Stopped red meat, actually started eating more cheese. My levels after 3months went down. But that was after 3months. So i think in moderation you should be ok.

    Let's try this again. So what does HDL "Good cholesterol" do when it runs out of " LDL" "Bad cholesterol" to transport to cells to restored them?. Would you call the farmer bad for making a place to store his potatoes, before they get picked up for delivery?

    • @katienaidoo6097
      @katienaidoo6097 5 месяцев назад

      I dont see how you run out of LDL when the body makes cholesterol. It is the excess of LDL that causes plaque build up thats why its called bad. You do know the body makes its own saturated fat and as such humans dont need to consume saturated fat, it is not essential. It is the excess of something that we dont need to consume, which contributes to raising LDL. LDL is not a storage for cholesterol is is a delivery mechanism. So im not sure how your farmer building a shed applies.

    Can somebody answer a question? Got my blood test results, the printout they gave me read 38 mmol/mol. According to their numbers this is under the good range. The other 2 are moderate and poor. Yet they sent a text saying that my cholesterol is high, without making life style changes. I could head towards a risk of cardiovascular disease. At reception they were unable to explain it and the chances of speaking to a GP is slim as it's too busy. Can anyone explain by any chance?
