What exactly does it mean that you are low on good cholesterol?

Because you don't want to have a lot of health issues when you're old.

there is LDL (lousy) cholesterol, and there's HDL (good) cholesterol. LDL is tiny and sticky, HDL is big and fluffy, and it carries away LDL. that's it's job.

you need omega 3's to form HDL. lower your consumption of polyunsaturated fats/omega 6's (packaged food, baked goods, fried foods), and increase your omega 3's (seeds, nuts, cold-water fish, and grass-fed beef... among other sources, including plant sources - research sources).

If I knew I was going to live this long I would have taken much better care of myself.😂🤔

When I eat too many carbs I feel sluggish, pasta, potatoes, chips, fries, etc. bread even..
I just eat a tiny bit of those lately and I feel better..
I don't eat bread really at all

Just ignore it til you're 40

You're lucky. You've been given a warning early enough for you to avoid future health problems if you start adjusting your diet now.If you insist on eating and drinking whatever you want, the cumulative effect will take its toll on your health as you age.

The good cholesterol helps keep the bad down. Many older people are on cholesterol drugs. The side effects are horrendous.....Oatmeal it's high in fiber and does wonders for your cholesterol, it's also high in protein.

Potato chips = bad cholesterol

Avocado = good cholesterol

Good cholesterol transports cholesterol to your liver.

Bad cholesterol transports cholesterol into your arteries.

You’re not that young. Sorry.

Listen to your doctor my friend. The body of your youth will not last forever and the better care you take of it now, the less problems you’re likely to have later.

Actually, taking care of yourself now will mean fewer health problems when you are older (and by “older”, I mean 40+. You’d be amazed how quickly it starts to catch up with you).

Exercise will raise it, so get off your ass
