Here are some sites with some examples of menus and other dietary info when trying to lower cholesterol.  There are also a lot of helpful books out there, and you can also see if your doctor can recommend a dietician who can make up some menus for you.\nhttp://www.gicare.com/pated/edtot24.htm\nhttp://www.loweringcholesterol.net/show/low-cholesterol-diet

First of all, you need to watch your diet to lower your cholesterol and get on some medication to help lower it.  Do you exercise?  Have you been to the Dr. for this?  I'm not a Dr., but I'd say get to one right away and have them do some tests-Echo cardiogram, stress tests, etc.

Eat whole grains and avoid fat and when you do have fat make it a good oil like canola oil or olive oil.  Eat more fish but not fried.  Eat skinless chicken.  Use fat free salad dressing.  Eat more dryed beans with whole grain for protein.  Avoid cheese and use low fat alternative if possible.  Avoid chips unless they are baked.  \nMy friend did weight watchers for 3 months and brought her cholesterol down over a hundred points and her ratio was better so if you have a few pounds to loose that would be a great place to learn about healthy eating.  They have books to help you shop and eat out too.\nExercise helps cholesterol especially your ratio.\nOrganic skim milk tastes soooo much better than regular skim.  You should also avoid ground beef and if you do eat it by the kind that is 95% fat free.

Ok, I am glad that you want to lower your cholesterol and that is a great idea and so far everyone has given very good advice, anything high in monounsaturated fat (almonds, avocado..) and fruits.  \nHowever, you said that you need to get your triglycerides tested every month.  Triglycerides are not the same thing as cholesterol.  Triglycerides make up some of your cholesterol, but they are their own thing.  The main thing that raises triglycerides is alcohol, so stay away from that.  \nYou could consider taking omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid rich foods like fish and fish oils, but be careful cause in excess these will increase your LDL (bad cholesterol) but at the same time decrease your triglycerides so its a double edged sword.  You will basically have to go on a low fat diet (with the fat you do take in coming from mono and polyunsaturated fats) and stay away from saturated fat, trans fat, and alcohol.  \nGood luck

list of low cholesterol foods should contain healthy foods such as:\n- fruits and vegetables,\n- fish, lean meats (also game),\n- dry beans,\n- whole grains,\n- low-fat or skim milk and cheese.\nFoods that have less salt and fat are recommended. It also helps to eat all fatty foods in moderation. \n\nLimit foods high in cholesterol, such as:\n\nliver and other organ meats \negg yolks \nfull-fat dairy products (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute 2001a; National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2002m). \n\nWhen preparing foods, the following cooking methods tend to produce lower saturated fat levels:\n\nbake \nbroil \nmicrowave \npoach \ngrill \nroast (when roasting, place meats on a rack so fat can drip away) \nlightly stir-fry or sauté in cooking spray, small amounts of vegetable oil, or reduced sodium chicken broth

Your total cholesterol should be below 200 mg/dL.  Your HDLs are good and your LDLs are borderline high.   <100 mg/dL is optimal, 100-129 near optimal and 130-159 borderline high.  The HDLs counteract the LDL somewhat but you still need to monitor your diet and increase exercise.  Your health care provider may want to start you on a "statin" med if you are unable to lower LDLs on your own.

Not really.  There are medications you can take for reducing your cholesterol.  Also watching the type of food you eat and getting more exercise can reduce high cholesterol levels.  There are plenty of web sites that will give you advice.\n\nHere is just one of them....\n\nhttp://heart.healthcentersonline.com/cholesterol/?WT.srch=1\n\nIf you do a Google search you will find plenty more.

Cheerios for breakfast with skim milk.  It's been proven to lower cholesterol.  Other foods high in dietary fiber can help, as well as eating a lot of vegetables.  If you don't currently exercise, start out by walking more.  Walk for half an hour three days a week.  Studies have shown that losing just 10 pounds can have a significant health benefit.\n\nIf you haven't already been tested, I would get your cholesterol checked so that you can have a baseline to compare to after you get healthy!\n\nGood luck!

ok, first of all u do not need dairy products, they are bad for your bones if u are no longer a child, exchange those for rice milk, and rice milk ice cream if u must: not soy milk b/c it has more cholesterol than non-fat milk.\neat lots of grains, like brown rice and grain bread with vegetables (preferably raw or slightly boiled/steamed).\nAlso, if u have access to a Japanese or Asian food market get some "Soba noodles" and boil them, they are delicious, and u dont need to drain the water after, u can just make it into a soup with veggies.\nAlso it would be good to get yrself addicted to sushi, preferably sashimi actually (just slices of raw fish).  So maybe u have some sushi-loving friends to help you out to make your own or maybe go out for some! :) I included a link (the 2nd one) of how to make your own sashimi, and note than u should exchange the white rice with brown rice or none at all.\nAlso:\nOmega-3 fish oil tablets to wonders for lowering bad cholesterol\nGarlic extract supplement (liquid)\nCayenne Pepper supplement (pills)\nthese are all perfectly safe and help reduce cholesterol as well as maintainng a healthy heart.\ncheck out the link below for some more cholesterol lowering foods.\nmy father has really bad cholesterol and has had 2 heart attacks in his life, but this new diet has been saving him.

1. Diet – Do not consume fatty products (such as ice cream, fatty sweets, fast food pizza) There was a report recently that French fries are very bad for your body as they contain large amounts of saturated fats. If you think you are craving to eat something sweet, eat fruits. Also eat a lot of vegetables. If you need to eat meat, eat fish (not chicken, crab). Fish has oils (HDL) which lower blood cholesterol levels and therefore is good for you. Cook food in canola or olive oil. As these are polyunsaturated oils, they help lower cholesterol levels. Consult a dietician for an individualized diet advice.\n2. Exercise – Exercise regularly. Join a weight reduction programme at a hospital also and very religiously attend it. Furthermore, reducing abdominal fat significantly lowers your risk of disease in the future (so do 50 proper sit-ups everyday).\n3. Medicine -The lipid (fat) lowering drugs if prescribed need to be taken apropriately. If you have forgotten what the dose was, consult a doctor and have a cholesterol check periodically. These lipid (fat) lowering drugs are only known to work with dietary changes. They are very effective and are known to reduce mortality by 30-40%, and therefore it is very worth while taking them properly.\n4. The website of British heart foundation may give more valuable tips. http://www.heartstats.org/homepage.asp copy\n5. Have regular health check ups, depending on what your doctor says. Prevention is always better than a cure.

There are many ways to get there and of course no one pill fits all are appropriate.\n\nOne of the most effective cholesterol natural remedy is: Linen seeds... You crush them and just add some to you current meals..\n\nThe other is food combination ( you should find proper guidelines on the internet)\n\nAnd the main thing is CHANGE YOU LIFESTYLE... and that one is usually the less attractive one for the majority!!!

You want to be sure to buy only the leanest cuts of meat and consume as little fat as possible.  If you can get your doctor to send you for a consult with a dietician, that would be a very wise thing to do.  The American Heart Association recommends the TLC diet and the dietician would be knowledgable about it.  Call him and ask.\n\nMeanwhile, these guidelines for the TLC diet might help you get started.  Here is a link to give you the guidelines:\nhttp://www.healthcastle.com/TLCdiet.shtml

helpful foods...go to local food store, look for flaxseed (Hodgson Mills) that is ground. 1 tablespoon in cereal, yogurt etc.. per day.  REFRIGERATE after opening. Terrific as a cholesterol lowering, terrific for skin and is also an excellent laxative.  Garlic is also good.
