A member asked:
My ldl cholesterol is 151 mg/dl does it poses any risk . what can i do to rdduce my cholesterol levels?

Eventually: With no risk factors we recommend under 130 although less than 160 has been acceptable. The problem is when you develop risk such as hypertension, the effect of deposition of cholesterol is already there. So better to reduce it to less than 100 by diet, less fatty and fried food or look for mediterranean diet and variation of it. Exercise with rapid or power walking or swimming is good.
