Well, high cholesterol is not good. If I understand it correctly, as one ages, your body over-creates the cholesterol -- it's not so much the food intake (although modifying your diet certainly helps). They have medication these days that inhibits your body from making so much, thereby lowering your bad cholesterol reading.
Your about 40 years behind the times. Not only is there (a tiny) little connection between high cholesterol and heart issues.
You need cholesterol for every cell in your body.
Your brain is mostly made of cholesterol.
It is a fact that those with more cholesterol live longer.
A fact that those with more cholesterol do better with cancer treatment
A fact that cardiotonics -- heart nutrients - a common one is Digitalis. Are actually made in your body, by what? Cholesterol
Perhaps one has cholesterol go up as they age -- because they need it more.
Your about 40 years behind the times. Not only is there (a tiny) little connection between high cholesterol and heart issues.
Elevated cholesterol is still a valuable marker for cardiovascular disease.
Its presence usually indicates damage to, and/or inflammation of, the endothelium.
Ignore it at your own risk.

I'll try to help. I'm probably older than you (Hell, I'm older than any one I know!)
Let's start with breakfast.
Make this up tonight. Go to the store if you have to:
1/2 C steel cut, 30 minute oatmeal. The kind that looks like bird seed.
Honey. Raw honey - not the Sue Bee kind of stuff.
1C Almond milk. Blueberries. Banana. Trail mix - the kind with just nuts; no chocolate and that kind of stuff.
Mix up the Milk, Oatmeal, and 1 Tblspn honey in a container in refrigerate overnight.
In the morning put blueberries, handful of trail mix, and sliced banana in a bowl and add in your oatmeal.
I am telling you, you start eating like this and your life will change! In the first place you will not be very hungry for lunch. In the second place, in about 2 days your bowel habits are going to change for the better - much better. That oatmeal and all that fiber is going to vacuum out the LDL and send it on its way.
Take your medication, eat properly, get some walking exercise and look for some great results!
BOL!
I bought all the ingredients you mentioned had this for the past few days. I am not a fan of honey but overall, it’s good. I’m going for my annual checkup soon so we’ll see how my high cholesterol levels are. Usually, they are a bit high, while everything else is normal. I wonder how long it takes before any actual levels are affected. I’ll check back with the suits. Thanks for the info.
It's really not rocket science on reducing--or keeping low cholesterol--and avoiding the statin drugs that lower cholesterol--but may cause serious side effects.
Eat a Mediterranean diet with fish a couple of time a week.
The problem is, we Americans eat a standard American Diet that is the opposite of what doctors and nutritionists advise.
We're married to our meat, processed foods, fried foods, sodas and gloppy pizzas. Eating this way pretty much guarantees we'll be sick. No amount of exercise can change the outcome. It's true--you can't outrun your fork.
And we're paying the price in heart disease, cancer, obesity, and diabetes.
It's a matter of desire and willpower to control our own health. No one is forcing us to eat high caloric, low-nutrient, processed foods.
But we're great at inventing excuses on how and why we can't change.
