Doctor, please help me with a diet chart and let me know how to bring down my cholesterol levels? There is some variation in my lipid profile and I have a Vitamin D deficiency. Thanks.

Avoid fried foods, red meat, full fat dairy, and bakery items. Add oats, flax seeds, walnuts, green leafy vegetables, and fruits. Use olive oil or mustard oil in moderation. Include 20 to 30 mins of walking daily. Take Vitamin D rich foods (eggs, fortified milk) and sun exposure.

I am a CAD patient for the past 2 years. My recent lipid profile shows triglycerides of 256 mg/dL, while other values are in the normal range. I am currently taking Atorvastatin 20 mg, Aspirin Clopidogrel 75 mg, Metoprolol 50 mg, and Ramipril 5 mg. Earlier, my triglycerides were around 160 mg/dL, but this time they have risen to 256 mg/dL. What steps should I take to reduce my triglycerides?

Answered by Apollo Doctors

I have been prescribed Lipitor 20 mg once daily at bedtime since January 2016. Is it safe for me to stop this medication and try natural or home remedies to reduce my cholesterol instead? My blood sugar is under control. Please advise.

Last Saturday, I went for a full body checkup at Dr. Lal Path Lab. In the report, I found that I have high triglycerides, 421, and uric acid, 9.9. I want to ask if it is possible to do treatment in Homeopathy?
