Specializes in Nutrition

Vegetables and beans: Beans that you soak in water are extremely inexpensive and very high in fiber ( 6 grams per serving). The canned beans are just as high in fiber but may be a bit more expensive since they are canned. Fresh or frozen vegetables are also high in fiber ( about 3 grams per serving)

I exercise 5x/week; high fiber, low sugar diet; normal weight; low BP. I'm 40 and mostly healthy. But, my LDL-C is high (150-160 since 2012). The rest of my lipid panel looks fine. Would statins make sense? Or should I get my LDL-P checked first?
