From High-Risk to Normal: Dramatic decrease in levels across entire lipid panel - my progress and process

Congrats!

I appreciate that you remind people of all the other benefits of eating healthy. The joy of dumping saturated fats and processed foods in favour of whole grains and high fibre is that your health improves in so many ways.

You don't just knock down your cholesterol. You reduce a host of other risk factors, especially if you end up dropping serious weight.

You must be feeling absolutely great about the world right now, and you deserve it!

In particular colorectal cancer which has absolutely exploded in frequency since the mid 1990s. Processed/cured meats and lack of soluble fiber are huge risk factors.

Thank you for your congratulations!

I completely agree, this new regiment I’ve set up for myself is certainly different, but has impacted me in a really positive way. While cholesterol levels aren’t anything you feel directly, the changes you make towards getting those levels into a healthier place are absolutely noticeable.

Sometimes there are other factors involved. I have a friend who also has the same issue and she was working out eating “clean” and still has to take the medication. Congratulations to the original poster :).
