Well, not the news I wanted today. I just got my blood test results in and my LDL cholesterol levels are high, around 240 and my LDL's are low and im 28 years old.

Yeah, im well aware of I need to start excercising more and really watching the cholest and sat fat intake of my foods, which I THOUGHT I was doing, but apparently, not enough.

My new doctor said to also start taking Omega 3 fish oils and something called Niacin, both over the counter stuff to help lower my bad levels, and raise my good levels.

I'm depressed and actually a bit scared, what else can I do so I don't end up another dead statistic?
