total

Standard medication is statins

You can reduce chlorestrol intake jn diet and exercise but it takes time.

In the mean time if you don't lower cholesterol you risk stroke and heart attack.

Best is to consult doctor and not anyhow deal with it.

You can discuss doctor to put yourself on medication to protect yourself while you change lifestyle exercise etc.

Most people cannot maintain change in lifestyle...so go on medication.

Pandan leaf aso gd for reducing uric acid. Bitter gourd, black bean, ... so many

try taking more fibre
more veg
and / or take psyllium

dont anyhow recommend
psyllium is laxative

cholestal is the body trying to 'patch' up damaged caused by sugar or some other food

its like the cement
u take medicine to unpatch wat the body is doing?
the whole structure will collapse

Soymilk is a good option lah!  Some people cannot tolerate cow's milk lah! Lactose intolerance lah! They may vomit and lausai lah!

Simple breakfast with oats, goji, cha seeds, black sesame seeds, and add soya bean milk. Pansai very easy

Yes psyllium has been proven to help reduce cholesterol, same with oats. However taking too much psyllium can cause serious constipation as the fibre expands and bulks up sizeably in the digestive tract, jamming up the system. Th psyllium in metamucil has been processed b4 hence shouldn't cause dis problm if taken as instructed.

high cholesterol will lead to high bp, pls take care.

Rosuvastatin like crestor you take to reduce cholesterol is very expensive
$3 per pop for 10 mg and you have to take long term
