How do i lower cholesterol? ?

Question

i recently took a blood test..(not a fasting one) and they came up with my cholesterol level at 248. and i'm 13. i'm not overweight, but high cholesterol runs in my family. both of my grandpa's are obese. one grandma is. and the other is losing weight rapidly.. possibly having ovarian cancer. I'm just wondering what do i do to lower it. I already exercise a lot, and i think i eat decently.. i'm just so confused.

Answer 1

It will be better to take the blood test in fasting condition. If it is >150 then go through treatment-

1.Dietary modification- Avoid fast foods & oily foods

2.Regular moderate exercise,eg ; walk 30 minutes as fast as you can daily

3.Drug - Atorvastatin (Lipitor)10 mg daily until normal cholesterol level.before taking the drug you must consult with your physician

Answer 2

a family member of mine had high cholesterol he's like you he worked out regularly and ate ok.He ended up just not drinking milk straight from the glass and eating fewer eggs now hes doing good. Hope this helps
