A member asked:

My cholesterol is high, i am 30 yr old female, i have 4month old baby. what can i do to control cholesterol ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need more info: It would have helped to know the data on cholesterol, HDL, and triglycerides. You should lose weight, if are even slightly overweight, reduce intake of saturated fats, and exercise at least 150 minutes/week. It would be prudent to consult your doctor to see if treatment with statins may be needed.
