Fish oil: For those like me who can’t handle large pills, I suggest lemon-flavored cod liver oil.
High cholesterol: The sweet spot for all cause mortality is about 190-260, NOT “under 200! Mine this year was 205, which is a bit on the low side if anything. Triglycerides were 75 and HDL was 55.
The only change from 10 years earlier was my total went up from 190 to 205 because my HDL had gone up from 40 to 55.
And there is little evidence that total cholesterol is even correlated with anything except for young men.
Good comments. I have the same numbers and also take lemon flavored fish oil. Was thinking of going back on statins. Rather not. Your comments help. Thanks.
