High cholesterol

[grevq80o]

So starchy

Apple is not starch. Bread is starchy.

 

[Pandal]

Got a few factors:

- Genetics, no family history but you might have genetic variation
- diet cut out red meats etc but got cut out sugary food or simple carbo like processed foods?
- got other underlying health conditions?
- how's your stress levels?
- age and gender play a part

Didn’t control my diet, ldl went back to 200++. Went back to oat for a month reading drop to 160.

How do u consume oats? For which meal?

 

[lasnoblur]

Fish oil supplement increase both LDL and HDL, I stopped taking after it worsened my Cholesterol problem.

Yes it did the same for me. I noticed the significant effects of taking 2 pills vs 1 pill. I reduced to 1 pill after that.

How do u consume oats? For which meal?

Mine really minimum, slightly half of small bowel of oats, pot fill with water, boil then let it cool down then consume, more like drinking oat water, once a day. Of course avoid saturated fat. Works wonders for me, result better than taking statin but with statin maybe I don’t need to look out for diet, up to individual.

 

[ninja99]

Have fatty liver too, liver function test result also always out, turmeric powder work well for me too. Just sharing

can see the Blood Glucose reading after eating Oats ( around 19 mins into the video).

lol the keto camp will tell you eating oats is bad.

This internet quack doctor tio fact checked by another scientist.

Setting aside any herbicide effects, the statement has clinical validity. For individuals with insulin resistance, prediabetes or diabetes, it is wise and necessary to avoid large blood sugar spikes after meals given that oats are composed of about 50% carbohydrates.

Furthermore, considering that a large proportion of the adult population exhibits metabolic abnormalities, the primary focus in cardiovascular disease development should be on addressing insulin resistance rather than concentrating solely on cholesterol levels. Prioritizing the management of insulin resistance is often more effective approach than focusing solely on cholesterol levels, especially in individuals with metabolic abnormalities.

 

[Mecisteus]

Focusing solely on LDL cholesterol LDL C may provide a false sense of security, as cardiovascular disease remains prevalent even in patients who meet guideline-recommended targets.

Nobody will just focus on just 1 marker lah.

Every single marker is useful.

Cholesterol, blood glucose, blood pressure, etc

Elevated insulin levels influence a wide range of physiological markers, including blood glucose, triglycerides, HDL cholesterol, inflammatory markers, and even blood pressure. Given insulin's central role in metabolism, few markers remain completely unaffected. Which specific markers do you believe are entirely independent of insulin levels?

You've been brainwashed by all the keto freaks.

Insulin insulin insulin.

There are people with good insulin but high cholesterol.

There are people with both bad insulin and cholesterol.

The focus should be on both markers. Not either 1.

 

[eflash]

Recently did body checkup, despite taking fish oil for few years still high cholesterol. Thinking of go JB buy some med. Can someone advice which med the best. Many thanks.

Hmm how about Brussel sprouts?
Celery? If find it not so nice, drink apple celery juice also ok.
Eggplant too... Can stir fry with a bit of miso

Insulin resistance plays a pivotal role in cardiovascular risk by promoting the formation of small and dense LDL particles that are more likely to cause plaque buildup in the arteries. It is highly prevalent, affecting up to 80% of overweight individuals and around 40% of normal weight adults, and is associated with increased triglycerides, lower HDL cholesterol, and higher inflammation, factors that often outweigh LDL levels alone in predicting heart disease.

Improving insulin sensitivity can reduce triglycerides, boost HDL, and shift LDL to a less harmful form, thereby lowering cardiovascular risk even if LDL remains elevated. In essence, individuals with high LDL but without insulin resistance, and with balanced triglycerides, HDL, and inflammation, tend to be at lower risk than those with normal LDL but significant insulin resistance. Therefore, lifestyle modifications such as a healthy diet, regular exercise, sufficient sleep, and stress management are key strategies for reducing cardiovascular risk.

You are not understanding my simple statements in English.

Went for health screening. All my markers are out of range.

Those markers that are supposed to be good, higher. Those suppose to be bad, lower.

Fasting Insulin at 2.5 (done at another clinic)

BMI-23

Dunno about other doctors, the doctor I went to, mention I might need statins for extremely high ldl and cholesterol in future. nOTHING else said about other markers.

So what?

I understand your statements, and you are correct that there are individuals with normal insulin sensitivity who still have high cholesterol, as well as those who have both insulin resistance and high cholesterol. The point, however, is not to dismiss your observation but to emphasize that insulin resistance plays a significant role in determining the nature of the cholesterol particles and overall cardiovascular risk.

Even if someone has good insulin sensitivity, high LDL cholesterol may still pose a risk, but typically, the risk is lower compared to someone who also has insulin resistance. This is because insulin resistance tends to produce small, dense LDL particles and is often linked with other risk factors like elevated triglycerides and inflammation.

If your doctor still does not understand how to mitigate cardiovascular risk beyond prescribing statins, then for your own good, it may be time to seek a more informed medical professional.
