what is its analysis?
Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Your Triglyceride is a little high (Desirable less than 150 \ Borderline = 150 - 199 \ More than 500 is very high) / Low carbohydrate diet and weight reduction help
Alcohol must be avoided...
HDL is good cholesterol – higher, the better.
LDL (& non-HDL) is bad cholesterol – lower, the better. / Your LDL is very high – 150 / In the absence of any other risk factor 100 is ideal for LDL. [In the presence of ischemia, 70 should be the aim.]
Keep your weight to normal / even a little less
Quit smoking, if you are a smoker
Do regular EXERCISE – say walking or jogging - 30 minutes a day / at least 5 days in a week. Isometric exercise (like bull worker) is bad.
Healthy FOOD is a must. Avoid saturated fats – coconut oil, palm oil, butter, ghee, full cream milk...Avoid junk foods in particular – French fries have palm oil / Pizza has cheese / Change to Poly-un-saturated oil – like sun flower oil. / Include Mono-un-saturated oil – Olive oil.
Repeat the test in 6 weeks.
Cholesterol and Triglyceride can still be high, in spite of diet and exercise – you need drugs; Because it is also manufactured in the liver – and that is determined by heredity. Statin is the first choice. Some start it straight away – even with normal levels, even without problems (Primary Prophylaxis)
Discuss with you dietician / Follow up with your doctor
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
