I grew up in a house that was always active, either in sports or outdoors. 

So, you might wonder how someone like me, now 48 years old, has already had double bypass, six stents, and a heart attack. 

I learned I had high cholesterol when I was 13, right after my dad had quadruple bypass surgery. He was 39. We didn’t know then it was a common genetic disorder called Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH), passed on from parent to child. We were told it was just unusually high cholesterol and that my dad and I would need to be on a statin for the rest of our lives. 

I don’t remember my dad taking his statin… ever. I’m sure he did, but I just didn’t see him take it. I can tell you that he complained a lot about muscle aches, and so I have a feeling he quit and just tried to combat the high numbers with diet and exercise.

Reduce Cholesterol with these 8 Foods


Cholesterol, in general, is not the bad word many of us perceive it to be. 

It’s only when you have excessive levels of bad cholesterol that you’re at risk. 

Dietitian Jyoti Chabria suggests these easy ways to lower bad cholesterol and reveals some simple secrets to reduce your cholesterol with the help of foods.

When a patient has a cholesterol problem, the whole lipid profile needs to be considered. A low-density lipoprotein (LDL) indicates higher levels of bad cholesterol. If not treated in time, this can lead to grave problems like heart disease and stroke. 
The main method of countering bad cholesterol is with weight loss, which will help to keep bad cholesterol at bay. 

However, that’s not as easily done as said. Cholesterol hampers weight reduction and may result in failed attempts at weight loss.

Apart from weight loss, there are certain foods that help in keeping cholesterol under control.
