How do i lower my cholesterol

Healthy Lifestyle: Lowering cholesterol starts with a healthy life style, getting plenty of fruits, vegetables & lean meats (chicken, fish) and exercising. If you are concerned about your cholesterol, you should see a doctor to get the levels checked. Depending on the level, you may need to go on a medication called a statin (ex lipitor).

Find and Fix Causes: Your physician will need to check for several inherited and acquired medical conditions that can affect your cholesterol levels. Another alternative is to see a lipidologist (physician specializing in lipid and lipoprotein disorders). You can find a lipidologist at www.Lipidboard.Org (click "verify status", then search your state).
