Hello beaverstreefarm
Recent test shows: HDL 90, LDL 52, Spoke to my Cardio, 1st question do you drink alcohol... my answer is NO + had a kidney transplant nearing 5 years before that I had a failing kidney ...On reading reading reading medical papers...there is some talk that excess use of olive oil & possibly coq10. In my case could be applicable.. not sure .. but have cut down Olive oil & Coq10 a bit & reduced my Cardio workouts to 4 days ... let's see how that goes.. yes there is a lot of talk of genetics being part of the cause. ideally HDL for seniors (me being in that group) is around the 60 from what is listed , This will be a discussion with my Cardio in upcoming meeting.
