As some of you know I've pretty much always had higher than normal cholesterol and triglycerides levels. Well the last time I had my bloodwork done (last month) and my numbers were absolutely terrible. It's all the red meat and beer I consume. Quoting: ChvyV8Bldr I'm in great shape physically, 5' 7" 190#. But I'm on a strict diet now....I mean who doesn't love steak, spaghetti, lasagna, Mexican food and of course beer. So I just thought you should double check your numbers before the holidays. (Of course your insurance will foot the bill). And trust me, you may be very surprised. Or disappointed as was I.

OP is right. If your triglycerides are high you might be carrying around some type 2 Diabetes, and if that goes unchecked your blood is going to turn into maple syrup and you're going to clog up and have a heart attack at 43. Like I did. If you are pushing your luck you should at least take a daily aspirin and keep your blood thin. Thinner blood will help keep things flushed somewhat. Drink a lot of water.

Gotta have the good protein...nutrients. Beer with no corn syrup, like Heineken is good to drink. |

It is being found that inflammation levels in the body are more important to future heart issues that cholesterol levels. My friend eats the shit out of pork & beef. Everyday. Always.

My numbers are high as well. I get it checked yearly and while high (260 range) the numbers haven't been getting worse, just staying where they are. My Dr prescribed stating but I don't want them given all I've read about them. I'm going to try niacin this year and see if it makes any differences on my numbers. My good cholesterol is very high which makes my triglycerides high. LDL is actually just above the average range Anyone had success with Niacin (or other supplements) to fix this? Chills |
