Should I be worried that my cholesterol level is 5.1?

Generally the following will apply to anyone wanting to bring down a borderline or high cholesterol reading:

Low saturated fat diet, high in fiber, avoid fried foods and salt and limit dairy and meat and prawns.
The best diet would be oily and white fish, eggs plus vegetarian foods. Eggs are fine as there is at present no association with an increased risk of HD. Cholesterol levels should be in the range 3.5 - 5.1.

It is important not to go below 3.5 as cholesterol is important to the body as can be seen in the enclosed information. Foods high in potassium would be beneficial. Avoiding stress, particularly prolonged stress is important.

Most people would also benefit from a multi vitamin and mineral without iron and copper, and an antioxidant that contains A, C, E
So 5.1 is good!
