Mine were never high but I was prescribed statins as a preventive measure. Statistics show that deaths from heart disease have dropped since Statins.
The February lab results showed my cholesterol was 169. I have no idea of the HDL/LDL ratio. Frankly I do not pay any attention. I just listen to my physician. I eat whatever I want, drink alcoholic beverages in moderation and exercise regularly. I enjoy yoga and meditate some. Both keep me calm and relaxed. Frankly, I believe high levels of stress and obesity producing high salt, sugar, and fat, low nutrient diets to be responsible for many health issues in the United States.
