A member asked:
My cholesterol (total) is 230, tg= 190, hdl=41, ldl=151 doctor says to eat vegetarian diet and to do exercise. should i also take any medicine ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Second opinion: Becoming a vegetarian is the moral high ground but the actual benefits for health are sometimes overstated. Please do exercise, and get seen again, perhaps by a specialist. The decision about meds will depend of family and other aspects of your personal history.
