I'll raise your 7.1 to 7.2! Thats what I was and I went on a healthy diet and took plenty of exercise - just walking and swimming. No salt, white bread, shellfish, nuts, chocolate, coffee, cheese, butter, cream, fried stuff, roasted stuff, bacon, processes meat, sausages eggs etc. After 3 months I was down to 4.6.

Medication should be a last resort.

Hmmm - coffee? I drink vast amounts of it - that was never mentioned by the GP.

That's why I prefer to get the apprentice when I go for an appointment as they are likely to be more up to date. Everyone can spread it - Anyone can catch it. Stay home - the life you save can be your own!

tablets are fine ...in moderation .
best way (non of your Proactive marg for me too bloody expensive ..!!)

Porridge 4 times a week no sugar (nurse told me no golden syrup either spoilsport..!!)
but a wee nip of blended whiskey on a Sunday morning just to keep the cold out works fine ...

with satins you can have memory loss (very useful if out shopping with the missus )

cut out the Macdonald,s unless he is buying the single malt,s ...and the sausage and bacon bin lids.

no more problem.. (except lack of Christmas cards from all the Heart Attack caravan,s littering the highway,s and by-ways ) Wales

[quote5jms5. I thought it was hereditary. Plenty of exercise and a healthy diet helps. Take the Doctors advice...quote]

Yes you can be predisposed to high cholesterol due to genetics, but lifestyle & diet are major factors. 5jms5 is right, plenty of exercise, watch what you eat & keep in touch with your GP / Practice Nurse. Poke it, Poke it, make it do it again!!
