My total cholesterol and LDL was 257 and 159, respectively. I walked 150 mins weekly to start then more as time went on. In three months, my total cholesterol was 185, and LDL was 99.

Thank you Dr Joe. I’m in the hospital because of my diabetes and you were more helpful and informative than the hospital nutritionist. You are not in the States. The meat industry here has a very powerful, political and dangerous lobby. So powerful that no doctor I’ve seen has the nerve to call out red meat as the danger it represents. Hence, in America diabetes and obesity in not only on the rise. It’s out of control. Thank you for this video. I’ve subscribed turned on notifications AND have shared this particular video with all my family. Please send out the video on walnuts. One of my favorite nuts.

Thanks so much for the information. I really like your videos and follow them. Pls always put those of us in nigeria into consideration letting us know our kind of food that can help in these situations. I watched one of your videos that says strawberries are also good in lowering cholesterol, but in nija here we cannot get them easily.

[@drjoetvMD]

Noted, Helen. But saying that I'm sure if you look hard enough you will any of these foods in Nigeria unless you are living in the countryside. Otherwise think about it. The foreign workers in Nigeria are not eating garri and foo foo (LOL). They are eating foods from their home country. If you shop where they shop for groceries, you'll find these foods. Guaranteed...

Dr. Joe, I’m so glad I tuned in to you today, I plan to use your greats tips on lowering high Cholesterol Thank You for your great tips on our health. 🤗

[@meftiss5417]

Thank you very much. I thought the consensus now is eggs do not increase your bad cholesterol if you eat them in moderation (say 1 egg a day)!

[@drjoetvMD]

1 egg a day (boiled) probably won't do you too much harm if your cholesterol is high. The problem though is that human beings are greedy. Who eats one egg a day for instance. Even those who do will have it preferably greasy. Not helpful. Also context is important. Having your eggs in cakes, buns & pastries with refined flour just makes the cholesterol problem worse. The mindset will be, well they say I can have eggs even though my cholesterol is high. Not helpful. I will prefer those with cholesterol issues to stick to egg whites. That's a safer bet in my opinion

[@zakiarashad5008]

Thank you for this video. I look forward to your videos. I will try to eat these food for lowering cholesterol. Are you in United States? 🙏 from Los Angeles.

Q

[@sharonmorris5594]

Good morning, thanks for your health information, should I also stop eating chicken aslo ? 🇯🇲

[@ish7133]

Thank you so much for the information. The controversies surrounding eggs is becoming one too many, some researchers have shown the yolk of eggs are good cholesterol and not bad cholesterol. Please clarify on this for us.

[@drjoetvMD]

The yolk of an egg has the most nutrients and that includes cholesterol. Your guess is as good as mine if a food that has cholesterol in it can influence blood cholesterol. There are these industry-sponsored studies whose findings are laughable and of course they use those results to propel a formidable lobby

[@flyinghigh3624]

Hi Dr Joe, When you said to stop eating meat. Would Chicken and Turkey fall into this category also?

[@drjoetvMD]

Yes. Sorry about that. Animal fat is bad for your cholesterol unfortunately

[@sfedrickbridges]

Hi Dr. Joe. What cereals/bars on the market would you suggest to buy or stay away from? Working on lowering cholesterol.

[@drjoetvMD]

Sugary products best avoided. Refined carbs best avoided

[@karenr.sternberg1920]

I'm not the doctor, but just eat a handful of nuts instead, maybe some raisins too. Many of those bars have sugars of one form or another, not helpful.

Now came across this video and I found it to be extremely helpful and relatable. I have high cholesterol and I am trying to reduce it and also try and live a healthy lifestyle. I am 60 yrs old and after raising my both daughters on my own and recently retired I now have time for myself so hence the reason for wanting to try and live a healthy life. I enjoyed this video especially when u said what needs to be turned off while trying to achieve a lower cholesterol levels so I will be looking forward to more of yr videos. Ty🙏

[@drjoetvMD]

No worries, Naz. I have quite a number of cholesterol videos on the channel, by the way. Browse the channel

Thank you so much for your advices on health matters. Pls. can Air frying remove fats from meat etc so i can consume once a while? I am 67 and my weight is 128 lbs and 5.2 inches tall. My last cholesterol test was 99.9.

[@drjoetvMD]

Moji, if you have succeeded in lowering your cholesterol levels to the normal range, then there is nothing wrong in having meat every now and again. However if you are still struggling to get those numbers down, then it is best to avoid it. And No, air frying doesn't get rid of the saturated fat in meat is the answer to your 2nd question

[@sleepright326]

Great job, Doc. I love that you mentioned not eating eggs. And you are right. I tried eating 2 eggs a day for my protein needs and my cholesterol hit the roofs. It came down when I stopped. However, I drink oatmeal every single for almost 10 years but my cholesterol has never been that great. I guess I really have a cholesterol problem..

Some say egg is good amd and you are saying egg is not good. Who do we believe here

[@drjoetvMD]

Me. Eggs have cholesterol in the yolks. You can research it yourself

[@kubenmoodliar477]

It's like what came first. The chicken or the egg. With all the technology we have to test whether eggs are good or bad for your LDL cholesterol, we still ask the question. If there is a medical white paper on this topic, can someone please share the link. Thank you 🙏

[@drjoetvMD]

@@kubenmoodliar477 Quick tip. Plants do not make cholesterol. It's not in their DNA to do so. Animals do

[@kubenmoodliar477]

@@drjoetvMD the human brain requires cholesterol to function. Correct? So if we stop the cholesterol tap, where will your brain receive good cholesterol from? I am very sincere with my question because I am very concerned about this matter as it pertains to my health. Thank you.
