Your total blood cholesterol level\nYour total blood cholesterol will fall into one of these categories:\n\nDesirable — Less than 200 mg/dL\nBorderline high risk — 200–239 mg/dL\nHigh risk — 240 mg/dL and over\n\n\n\nWhat Are Healthy Levels of Cholesterol?\n\nYour total blood cholesterol level\nYour total blood cholesterol will fall into one of these categories:\n\nDesirable — Less than 200 mg/dL\nBorderline high risk — 200–239 mg/dL\nHigh risk — 240 mg/dL and over\n\nHere is some more explanation about each of these categories.\n\nDesirable\nIf your total cholesterol is less than 200 mg/dL, your heart attack risk is relatively low, unless you have other risk factors. Even with a low risk, it's still smart to eat foods low in saturated fat and cholesterol, and also get plenty of physical activity. Have your cholesterol levels measured every five years — or more often if you're a man over 45 or a woman over 55.\n\nBorderline high risk\nPeople whose cholesterol level is from 200 to 239 mg/dL are borderline high risk. About a third of American adults are in this (borderline) group; almost half of adults have total cholesterol levels below 200 mg/dL.\n\nHave your cholesterol and HDL rechecked in one to two years if:\n\nYour total cholesterol is in this range. \nYour HDL is less than 40 mg/dL. \nYou don’t have other risk factors for heart disease. \nYou should also lower your intake of foods high in saturated fat and cholesterol to reduce your blood cholesterol level to below 200 mg/dL. Your doctor may order another blood test to measure your LDL cholesterol. Ask your doctor to discuss your LDL cholesterol with you. Even if your total cholesterol is between 200 and 239 mg/dL, you may not be at high risk for a heart attack. Some people — such as women before menopause and young, active men who have no other risk factors — may have high HDL cholesterol and desirable LDL levels. Ask your doctor to interpret your results. Everyone's case is different.

oatmeal is good for helping to get rid of the bad cholesterol ( I believe its the LDL), and eating foods like fish will help raise your good cholesterol (I think it's HDL), which will lower your total overall cholesterol.

Check out the methods section of this article: http://freenet.macatawa.org/~rimmer/Vitamin.htm\n\nThere are different methods to measure the content of different nutrients.  One of the most common methods is NIR spectroscopy.  And then there are chemical analyses and preparation techniques to isolate certain nutrients. In short, big time biochemistry going on!

Normal values for cholesterol is from 150 mg/dL to 250 mg/dL.  so your values are still within the normal range.  Increased cholesterol from the normal range is not good for the heart and body.  How to avoid increased cholesterol values? Avoid fatty foods,( pork and chicken fat), dairy products ( cheese, butter, milk) eggs.  Exercise is also good to burn out the excess fats in your body and avoid their deposition in your adipose tissue.

High fiber foods. Fiber helps pull cholesterol out of the body. Oatmeal is an excellent breakfast food.\nEat more fruits/veggies, & cut back on your meat consumption, especially red meat.\nDrink more water, & less pop & juice.\nIncrease your whole grain consumption while decreasing refined, white flour products such as white breads & confections & pastries.\nYou would do well to add two supplements to your diet.\nSpirulina is an excellent addition, and so is chromium picolinate. You can find both of these at your local health food store.\nGood luck.

The "meat" itself is loaded with cholesterol throughout.

Cholesterol is looked upon as something undesirable. But it is actually essential to our body. There are good cholesterol (HDL) and bad cholesterol (LDL). The aim is to get the HDL up and the LDL down. \nAnd good news! There are quite a lot of food  that can do this and most of them taste good as well.\n \n1) Soya products\n2) Fish - rich in Omega 3 \n3) Nuts - high in mono/polyunsaturated fats \n4) High fibre food like fruits, vegetables and oatmeal - in our digestive system, fibres bind and traps fat in our food and reduces their absorbtion into the body\n\nCheck out this website too for more details http://www.loweringcholesterol.net/show/cholesterol-lowering-foods

Here are some sites with some examples of menus and other dietary info when trying to lower cholesterol.  There are also a lot of helpful books out there, and you can also see if your doctor can recommend a dietician who can make up some menus for you.\nhttp://www.gicare.com/pated/edtot24.htm\nhttp://www.loweringcholesterol.net/show/low-cholesterol-diet

Cholesterol is only in animal foods...there are plant sterols, but they are NOT the negative animal cholesterol.  Although it is true that cholesterol is made by your body (as you do need some for vital bodily functions), adding cholesterol in your diet is definitely one of the major problems with the "bad" cholesterol that causes problems.  Saturated fat (which is in plant and animal products, but more so in animal products) also plays a part in cholesterol production:  if you have too much saturated fat, it is turned into cholesterol by your body.  There have been studies that show that a vegan diet not only helps with high cholesterol, but also many cancers, many autoimmune disorders, asthma, allergies, etc.  Since there  are obviously people who have been brainwashed by the meat/dairy/egg industries, you don't hear much about vegan diets as all the propoganda spewed about how "unhealthy" these diets are.  (The American Dietetic Association, as well as the Canadian version and the World Health Organization, ALL admit that a well-balanced vegan diet is one of the healthiest all around.)
