Triglycerides (159) and LDL (101) are within acceptable limits. HDL (30) is slightly low, and VLDL (32) is slightly high, which can increase heart risk over time. Encourage daily 30 min walk, weight management, and a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, nuts, and omega 3 (flaxseed, fish). Avoid junk food, sugary drinks, and smoking if applicable. You can book a Lipid Profile test again after 3 months to monitor improvement with lifestyle changes.

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.
