A member asked:

I am 38 no family history of heart attacks total cholesterol 336.4 triglycerides-94 hdl-72 ldl-245 do i need statin ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Cholesterol 336: Your cholesterol is high, usually we recommend that the Total Cholesterol be 200 or less. So the first recommendation is to eat less fat, especially animal or saturated fat and also avoid foods containing "partially hydrogenated fats" and avoid sugars and concentrated sweets. Most of your fats should be mono-unsaturated fats like Olive oil or canola oil, or from almonds or walnuts.
