How to deal with high cholesterol?
I am a 16 year old female. I am not overweight, and for the most part I eat pretty healthy. I do treat myself to a bowl of ice or piece of pizza sometimes, but thats about it. My doctor says that for my age I have extremely high cholesterol. My mom’s side of the family has high cholesterol. I know that high cholesterol is genetic, but I also know that unhealthy eating can lead to it. But I eat healthy for the most part, and I am not overweight. How do I lower my cholesterol? And what are some things that could of cause my high cholesterol?

If you eat healthy and are not overweight..the majority of your high cholesterol problem is coming from your genetics. The only thing that is going to help fight the genetics part of it is medication that lowers cholesterol. In the meantime, be sure to keep up a healthy diet and get plenty of exercise. An unhealthy snack or meal every once in a blue moon isn’t going to cause high cholesterol, so don’t feel guilty about it.
well.. you have two options i see…
1. Work out! work outs that get your heart pumping remove cholesterol =P
2. Take medication to lower it…
And btw you may want to start taking aspirins before you work out… it will help your heart
