I received a call from the doctors office this morning and the nurse told me my cholesterol and LDL cholesterol were a little elevated at 213 and 134 respectively but that lower my fat intake and my white carbs should help. My blood sugar levels are slightly high but I just have to have it checked on my next visit which could be as late as next fall when I go for my yearly physical which is something I am going to start doing. The rest of my blood work was good. I was excited to hear that as diabetes runs in the family. I also lost 14lbs this week which honestly just….rocks! I am so stoked to see what happens next week. I’ve now lost 39lbs in 3 weeks!!

I have an LDL level of 6.7 , what mg of simvastain should i take?
is my cholesterol bad?
depends on a whole host of other risk factors i.e smoker?! previous mi?! age?! weight?! etc etc
6.7 is above target for the UK, a statin is a good idea if not contra-indicated your GP will be able to advise on dosage. I would probably start you off on 10mg Atorvastatin and see how you go.
It all heavily depends on your risk factors/other medications/allergies etc so please please please speak to your GP before you do anything!
Good luck

I work out 3-5 times a week but I still weigh 185. I am 5′3″ 18 year old female with 136 pounds of lean mass.
I had blood work done and these are my results
Glucose 92mg/dL
Cholesterol 158mg/dL
Triglyceride fats 42mg/dL
Chol/HDL ratio 2.9
HDL chol 54mg/dL
LDL chol 96mg/dL
are any of these reasons to why I am fat?
Weight is not the only measure of health. But if you maintain that weight, you may find that you will be less healthy as you get older. Right now you are in your prime. Your blood work results might be different in 5 to 10 years. Losing even 10% of your body weight, 18 to 20 pounds, could make a tremendous difference to your health in the long term.

Lighters
The first lighter, Döbereiner’s lamp, was invented by Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner
in 1823. It stayed in production until 1880.
The development of lighters accelerated during the first World War. Soldiers used
matches to find their way in the dark, but the intense initial flare of matches gave
away their position, and many lives were lost because of this. So the need for fire
without a large initial flare was born. Inventors started improving the design of
lighters and by 1918 when the war ended, they were able to be produced fast,
easier and cheaper.

How does smoking affect coronary heart disease risk?
Cigarette and tobacco smoke, high blood cholesterol, high blood pressure, physical inactivity, obesity and diabetes are the six major independent risk factors for coronary heart disease that you can modify or control. Cigarette smoking is so widespread and significant as a risk factor that the Surgeon General has called it “the leading preventable cause of disease and deaths in the United States.”
Cigarette smoking increases the risk of coronary heart disease by itself. When it acts with other factors, it greatly increases risk. Smoking increases blood pressure, decreases exercise tolerance and increases the tendency for blood to clot. Smoking also increases the risk of recurrent coronary heart disease after bypass surgery.
Cigarette smoking is the most important risk factor for young men and women. It produces a greater relative risk in persons under age 50 than in those over 50.
Women who smoke and use oral contraceptives greatly increase their risk of coronary heart disease and stroke compared with nonsmoking women who use oral contraceptives.
Smoking decreases HDL (good) cholesterol. Cigarette smoking combined with a family history of heart disease also seems to greatly increase the risk.
What about cigarette smoking and stroke and peripheral arterial disease?
Studies show that cigarette smoking is an important risk factor for stroke. Inhaling cigarette smoke produces several effects that damage the cerebrovascular system. Women who take oral contraceptives and smoke increase their risk of stroke many times. Smoking also creates a higher risk for peripheral arterial disease and aortic aneurysm.
