What is the highest your Cholesterol should be? I went to the doctor and mine was 210. Should I be worried? I am a female, 23 yrs. old and about 125 lbs. Thanks

i just got my blood checked; my doctor informed me that i have high cholesterol, coupled with a light case of anemia. the anemia part- that’s understandable, because i don’t tend to eat meat, but i have no idea why i have a high cholesterol, since i am about 15 pounds underweight. my cholesterol was about 225 mg/dl, and i’m only 16. i don’t understand how this can happen; i never eat food high in fat. i do tend to eat a lot of sweets- does that correlate to my high cholesterol??i don’t think it’s genetic, because my parents have unusually low cholesterols.

How do medicines for reducing cholesterol work in your body?

i heard tamarind has cholesterol? if i have cholesterol is it harm full for me?

I am almost 15, height is 5’7, weight is 164.

Last month I had my blood test done, and the results came back and said I had high cholesterol.
The number was about 170.

Now, I am very healthy. I am making sure I eat the right amount of food, get the right amount of nutrition, and I exercise daily.

I don’t eat anything with cholesterol in it (i’m a vegetarian, and i don’t eat eggs BUT i get my calcium and protein from plain non-fat greek yogurt and peanut butter!)

Now, here’s my question.

Is it possible for my cholesterol to be TOO LOW because I don’t eat anything with cholesterol in it?

Thank you 🙂

What is cholesterol? What does it do for the body, and what can happen if you eat too much of it? What types of food have high cholesterol content?

Has anyone had any luck lowering their cholesterol by using Phytosterol supplements like Centrum Cardio or Bayer Heart Health Advantage? If so how much did it lower it?

Does bad cholesterol clog just the vessels near the heart? Or does it also clog those in the brain? If it clogs those in the brain then how it is possible to remove them? Is it true that exercise generates good cholesterol that takes away bad cholesterol in vessels?
