what do my numbers mean?
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2015 1:35 am
I had a blood test from 2013 and my numbers were:
total cholesterol 151
HDL 34
LDL 90
TG 133
my HDL/TG ratio is 3.9 and anything above 3.5 is "at risk"
is that right?
Before I found this site,I was told to read these books:
Here are the 3 must-read books from the Plaque Regressors:
Heal Your Heart: How You Can Prevent or Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. K. Lance Gould
Track Your Plaque by Dr. William Davis
Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease by Dr. C. Esselstyn
Basically those 3 books tell you to reduce plaque via:
eat low fat
take some supplements, like niacin
lose weight
more EFA
no/low dairy/meat
getting your HDL, ldl, total cholesterol to low levels
HDL above 60
LDL below 60
TG below 60
then you can start to reverse plaque building
Do people on this forum reduce plaque by just taking more vitamin C/lysine
I think I have to do both, eat right, get lower numbers and get my other numbers (CRP, T/E, bodyfat) low
I dont see how I can be fat and have a low risk for heart diease, even taking 10+grams vitamin C.. is that right?
thanks
