That's the way it goes, "I am tired of fighting" a person gets that feeling.I have fought cholesterol and kept it in check for years.Diet and exercise has kept me below 200.
But I got tired of fighting it. I'll take the fricken pill!
My doctors continue to try and put me on cholesterol drugs despite my total cholesterol being around 130 and my bad cholesterol about half that.
I continue to refuse because I don't believe that I need it or that any benefit would outweigh the side effects.

True story! I eat eggs, bacon, et al and mine is always low.keep in mind that cholesterol is also from passed down genetics...I eat nothing processed and yet my cholesterol is high...that comes from Mom's side of the family...
Almost summertime dogzter - and you are welcoming more snow? -View attachment 19005415

My total Cholesterol is low, perhaps because I eat a relatively minimal amount of animal products, (only fish and foul other than milk). A few years back I read an article by a Japanese centenarian who discussed his daily regime. One of the only things he did all the time was to take 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil (first cold press) after dinner. I noticed after doing so my tests showed I dropped even further. And now I do it all the time. It has numerous benefits, including containing copious amounts of antioxidants and is anti-inflammatory. I can easily envision this floating in my bloodstream, loosening the saturated fats from my blood vessels side walls.

A wise old MD, now over 100 and still active, told me this lesson "If it does not have its roots in the ground, or fall from a tree, walk on two legs, or swim in the sea, I don't want you eating it." More or less what I follow today.
