symptomwise approach

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thanks for contacting Ayurveda with your health concern and after reviewing your case history and Reports I'm of the following opinion:

1. recent studies suggests that people with low vitamin d levels have high cholesterol values and vise versa but the study is not conclusive and more research is essential to establish the fact.
PS. The study was published in the October 2010 issue of "The XXXXXXX Journal of Cardiology." and more research is needed to understand the relation between low vitamin D & hypercholestremia [especially LDL]

2. As your lifestyle seems to be active thus do let me know about your job [sedentary] and weight [obese/overweight]?

A. FOR HIGH CHOLESTEROL

- DIETARY AND LIFESTYLE CHANGES [even if your weight is normal do follow the same]

i. There is a limit to how much one can exercise every day. An average (non athlete) person cannot run or exercise vigorously for more than 30 minutes i.e. you cannot burn more than 300 calories through EXERCISE everyday! So it is important to control the tongue, along with whatever exercise you do:
½ hour of walking burn 130 calories
½ hour of jogging/running burn 300-350 calories
½ hour of swimming burn 250 calories
½ hour of cycling burn 150 calories
½ hour of aerobic exercise burn 250 calories
½ hour of light exercise like writing/driving burn 50 calories
i.e. if you don’t exercise you consume about 2000-2500 calories per day. To this you Add any of the above exercise protocol to consume more calories, and keep your calorie consumption below 2000 per day and you will be losing weight

ii. Tips on Eating: Starvation is not the right way to loose weight. Take the right type of diet and eat heartily:

- AVOID:
.sedentary lifestyle, day time sleeping after meals, newly harvested rice, curd, butter, ghee, cheese, cream, chocolates, cakes, pastries, ice-creams, XXXXXXX
. oils should be reduced to minimum, avoid deep fried foods like puries,bhujees, potato chips.
.avoid potatoes, sweet potatoes, beets, yam, nuts, fruits with sweet pulp like XXXXXXX chickoos, bananas and grapes.
. Avoid processed and tinned foods, opt for fresh foods
. Drinking cold water after exercise.
. Eliminate all cold food and drink; you should eat nothing that is refrigerator cold.

- WHAT TO EAT:
.start the meal with large bowl of thin soup, followed by good volume of salads prepared with green vegetables (cabbage, cauliflower, lettuce, cucumber, sprouted pulses). This will prevent you from taking extra servings of the meals. Drink plenty of water and diluted buttermilk.
.Avoid rice, take roti or phulka,without oil or ghee.The bhaji servings should be prepared from green leafy vegetables,onions,cauliflower’s,lady’s finger,radish, turnips, mushrooms, sprouted pulses. Oil may be substituted by gravy of tomato, onion, garlic, and ginger, in the curry or bhaji for taste.
. For morning and evening snacks, take recommended fruits, vegetables and low fat (skimmed) milk, black tea without sugar has negligible calories.
. Carbohydrates: fat requires carbohydrates to burn, so take them in moderation like grains.

B. FOR VITAMIN D DEFICIENCY

. TAKE: carrot,beet root,spinach,radish,tomato,coriander/mint,amla rasayan, soybean,cucumber,cabbage, Vitamin D fortified pineapple-yogurt-milk, banana, dry mushroom,cod liver oil,sunshine, and vitamin D tablets/injection/sachet/ syrup [depending upon your attending Physician consideration]

C. FOR VITAMIN B12 DEFICIENCY
. Since Vit. B12 is manufactured only by bacteria thus found naturally in animal products [true vegetarians thus can suffer from the deficiency]
Take: cheese [swiss/mozzarella,eggs,sheel fish, liver [beef],fortified soy products, fortified cereals, and most importantly injectables are preferred
