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

As that's what my doctor told me, plus to eliminate carbs and to increase fiber. I am only 30, why should I take my health seriously now as I am still young. Doesn't make any sense.

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).

Thanks and I’ll add more omega 3’s to my diet 👌🏻@SW-User
