Lowering blood cholesterol by lifestyle changes

Category : Lifestyle

Q. I would like to ask you a question regarding lowering cholesterol. I am 39 years old. When I had my annual blood examination (c/o our office) my cholesterol was 220. My doctor told me to watch my diet. I brought it down to 204 in 5 weeks, but he still told me to take pravastatin. I do not feel comfortable doing this. I think I can lower my blood cholesterol some more by adopting lifestyle changes watching my diet some more and adding exercise to my routine and that I don’t need medications. Of course, I will talk to my doctor about this, but don’t you think this is the right step? Incidentally, I am not overweight.
