hello, curious if you ever learned more about your high HDL? My HDL came back at 109 on recent bloodwork, but LDL and Trig are very low. I read there may be some genetic disorders that could contribute to readings like this but there aren't really treatments available to lower HDL like there are statins for lowering LDL.
@floridaswan no darling your scores are wonderful. You want your HDL to be as high as possible and your LDL to be low along with your triglycerides sounds like you’re doing fine!!!!
@brokenbones I have ground flax everyday and green bananas . I used to put blueberries in my smoothie but that caused my try glycerides to jump . I eat nothing but healthy food since 2018. Nothing proceced, no dairy , meat , white flour , sweets, and nothing changes . the only time my HDl gets to 49 is if my HDl goes up and I can't have that as I have familial hypercholesterolemia with elevated LP(@).I will try the avocado oil though..
@19281928 reread what you wrote it didn’t quite make sense about the HDL. If you have familial coronary artery disease it’s going to be hard to raise your HDL. My overall cholesterol is great and what I do is eat a lot of fish that change is a game changer.
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.
@l0lag0lag0b3 that is not correct your HDL should be high. I wrote a message above saying how I remember it that it’s happy. The LDL I remember as lousy and that should be low. It sounds like you are perfectly in there for all the work you’re doing congratulations.
