How do you treat hypercholesterolemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet, exercise, meds: Proper diet (low in saturated and trans fats, high in fiber), regular exercise (cardiovascular preferably), weight loss (if overweight) are good places to start. Should this not work, then we can add medications, niacin, fish oil or flax supplementation.
