And regularly fruit like apple and dry-fruits like peanuts.almonds, walnuts. I take vegetables like tinda,ghiya, bhindi palak, methi, moong dal or tuhar dal and chicken or chicken kabab once a week. I do walking for 45 minutes per day ( as15 minutes in 3 intervals).And for controling diabetes, I take 1mg Glimpride in the morning and one .2 voglibose at night before meals. My serum cholesterol is 217,triglycerides 156, HDL is 35, LDL is153 and creatinine level is 2.1.MY BP level should be 70 - 130, which is at times more than required level by the doctor.For controling my BP I take amlodipine 5mg twice, Metaprolol 50xr twice , telma H h 80 once and ecospirin 75once daily. Please advice as to how to improve further.

As Indians,we are prone to low HDL,nd slightly high cholestrol levels due to our genetic makeup.What really matters is the lifestyle factors that can lead to hear problem,coupled with abnormal lipid profiLes.Lipid profiles shows whether you are at risk for coronary heart disease(CHD).Total cholesterol<200mg/dl is desirable,Triglycerides<150 is normal,HDL 60mg/dl.and above is considerd protective against hear disease,HDL<40mg/dl.is risk factor for hear disease,LDL(bad cholestrol) is the main source of cholestrol build up and blockage in the arteries.LDL<100mg/dl,is optimal,LDL160-189mg/dl.is considered high.Normal need to be careful,but thre is no cause for alarm.You need to raise HDL or good cholestro.Modify your diet and increase your physical activity

Dear rksharmakumar....Thanks for the advice, please tell me as to how to increase the HDL level

Total cholesterol is not cause for CVD/CHD. The important factors are TG, HDL and dense LDL particles. Carb reduction is the most primary remedy for bringing down TG. There is no any specific method which can raise HDL. What is effective for one may not be beneficial to somebody else. Reducing inflammation, anaerobic exercise, VCO, omega -3 fats are some of the effective remedies.

As he is on 5 drugs, combined effect could have some on his TG. I think he has Indian genetic disposition for lipids. He should test for appo b for LDL type.

I think Vap, particle testing are not available anywhere India. Even those available markers are hardly tested.

They have long list for heart and other deceases. I think apo B is similar to LDL particle testing.
