Patient's question:
Hello doctor! I am 32 years old. My total cholesterol and triglycerides are high. What should I eat to lower them? How can I alleviate this? What should I pay more attention to in daily life? Or what should I eat more of and what should I eat less of?Doctor's answer:
The total cholesterol and triglycerides you mentioned are high, but it's unclear by how much. If both are elevated, you can take Simvastatin or other statin medications to help alleviate the issue. While doing so, it's important to increase physical exercise. If you are overweight, actively reduce your diet and consume more vegetables and light foods, avoiding greasy ones. You can consult with a doctor in the endocrinology department to review your test results.
