You might be: Seems like you're asking if you're from india or not. Based on the information provided, i can't tell if you're from india or not. On a side note, your bad cholesterol is very high and your good cholesterol is very low. Your uric acid is high also. You should see a doctor for proper evaluation and treatment.

A 36-year-old member asked:
Is there a chance that I will develop atherosclerosis even if my blood cholesterol is low?

Dr. Louis Grenzeranswered

Yes: There are many risk factors other than cholesterol such as smoking, hypertension, stress, and hereditary factors. So if you want to lessen your chances of developing atherosclerosis, all of those factors need to be addressed. There are also probably other risk factors that we don't even know about.

How can you make your HDL cholesterol levels go up?

Dr. Maritza Baezanswered

Diet & exercise: Moderate exercise (about 30 minutes five times a week) reduces LDL cholesterol and raises HDL cholesterol. Smoking can lower HDL levels, so stop smoking if you do. Eat lots of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean sources of protein. Include monounsaturated fats in your diet- olive oil/canola oil. Moderate consumption of alcohol may also positively impact HDL levels. 1 glass of wine a day.

Pumpkin seeds: Are high in calories, fiber, minerals, vitamins & anti oxidants. Their oleic acid content (a mono unsaturated fatty acid) helps lower the bad LDL & elevate the good HDL cholesterol.

How can I raise good cholesterol if I have IBS and have been instructed not to eat fruits veggies nuts or starches?

Dr. Robert Kwokanswered

Do some web searches: Look for foods with monounsaturated fats (olive oil, peanut butter, etc...). Read up on such foods on nutrition websites. Avoiding sugars and simple starches should help raise good cholesterol (fruits have a lot of sugar, and breads are simple starches). That means lean protein such as skinless chicken breast, pork loin (whiter meat), and tofu can be considered. Ask the doctor about nut butters.
