Hey guys...last year I got my cholesterol checked and it was 7.2 which is fairly high..got it re-done 2 weeks ago and it came back with 7.1.
I was given a slap on the first the first time, told to clean my diet up and take on a more Mediterranean diet. Granted, I haven't been perfect and been eating more takeaways actually than last year, but when I say more, I mean once or twice a month, so on the grand scheme of things not much.
I do love high saturated fats, i.e. cheese and what not.
But it's gone down, albeit .1. This time round the Dr's never really commented on my cholesterol as it's pretty much stayed the same, but it's worrying me because 7 is still high regardless. I do have high BP which is being controlled by medication, and before anyone asks I have had a medical history going back 10 year being diagnosed with cancer.
My question is; with a stricter diet, and going gym a lot more often (minimum 3x a week) can I see my cholesterol go down to say 6 or even lower within 6 months? and I ain't going to drop dead tomorrow with 7.1 cholesterol am I? being 2 years running now. Thanks :)
