Fitness

I just had a Lipids panel taken and my LDL cholesterol levels were a bit high

I'm quite surprised since my intake of foods high in cholesterol and trans fats has been minimal in the last 6 months

According to Bard soluble fibers and plant sterols help reduce it. I do eat these but might have to eat more 🤷‍♂️

Yeah. To be fair I'm just above the optimal level and not at risk levels.

Interested in ZK, FHE, system design, ai safety, hardware, and smart contact security.

I'm clueless about this so I'm all ears :)

I just want to keep that number in check.

I'm pretty sure that dietary cholesterol doesn't increase blood cholesterol in humans. Feel free to correct me, but I think every study that indicates that was done in rabbits, and humans can't actually digest significant amounts of cholesterol

Just part of a yearly checkup.
I had high-ish cholesterol and blood pressure 6 months ago. I completely changed my eating and fitness habits since then so we did the Lipids check again to see difference and it's still high

Did your doctor do that calculation to see your risk of a cardiac event over the next ten years?

Mine said they switched out how they treat cholesterol, and I’m wondering if it’s across the board
