Do you need to take medication for high cholesterol and high triglycerides?

Patient's question:

I am already 52 years old this year. I usually don't like drinking beer or eating late-night snacks. My children at home often say I'm fat and ask me to restrain a bit. Recently, they even took me to the hospital for a thorough check-up. The doctor said my cholesterol is high and my triglycerides are elevated. Hello, do high cholesterol and triglycerides require medication?

Doctor's answer:

According to your current condition, if there is a significant increase in blood lipid levels again, it is recommended to consider adjusting lifestyle promptly, such as increasing the intake of greasy foods, such as animal fats and liver, etc. Pay attention to moderate exercise during daily life to enhance your physical fitness. If long-term suppression is not effective, it is recommended to consider taking medication promptly.
