A member asked:

What should i eat to lower my cholesterol .it is 265 ..should i avoid grains &cereals like lentils, peas and rice? please help?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cholesterol problems: Often stem from consumption of fatty foods as opposed to vegetables and grains. Cut the fat first and increase your daily exercise to 20 to 30 minutes 4-5 times per week. Re test in 3-6 months to see how you are doing.
