I have a genetic gift , never was high over an entire life. Also never worried about it . you only live once .
its the dirt nap for us all in the end.
283 is a New record for me and I agree that's ridiculously high BUT I'm not getting wound up about it. 180 to 210 is pretty normal for me.
My dad lived to be 74 smoking close to 3 packs of cigarettes a day and drinking at least a half a gallon of scotch a week if it was available.
I don't have any kids and don't see laying in a nursing home as a win so it is what it is, we are all gonna die.
He lived to 74 but I bet he didn't feel as good as he would have or live as long as he would have without the cigs and hooch. Get to feeling good my friend.
Total 57. That is a little hi and need to lower it to near 45. I need to work on that.
HDL 32
LDL 46
Tri were 86
283 is not that high when you comparing it to others that i have known that were in the 700+ and 400+ and 500+ and 600+
All of them needed quadruple by pass surgery before they were 50.
One of them was to have a packet of white charcoal powder mixed with a glass of water before every meal. He was on a strict diet and was able to get his cholesterol down to near 440, he thought that was a good start when he started in the 690.
LDL isn't all "bad" cholesterol (your brain is cells are made out of it). There's different sizes LDL and the only one that's bad for you is the small LDL that's been damaged by things like high glucose levels and high insulin levels. The small LDL is the one that blocks your arteries. I had the comprehensive lipid panel done recently and although my LDL total was a little high my small LDL count was also very low. The big LDL is the good LDL and if you take statins to recuse your total LDL numbers it only reduces the large LDL making your large LDL to small ratio worse. The older you get the more harm statin drugs cause.
