A member asked:

My ldl level is still high and i want to lower it. could you please tell me how many days and hours a day i should exercise and food to avoid eating?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Need to examine: It is not feasible to provide a meaningful opinion without additional history, physical examination and may be some tests. It would be prudent to see your doctor. Exercising 30 minutes a day is usually sufficient. Losing weight may help. Avoid saturated fats. Wish you good health!
