Odd Numbers

So i just received my blood work and my numbers read, Cholesterol 216 mg/dl, with hdl of 61 and ldl of 145, a chol/hdl ratio of 3.5 and triglycerides of 58. What can i incur? My family has a history of heart disease and I workout more days than not of at least 30 minutes or so and I am only 25. Is it time to start looking at medicinal help? I seem young for this.

Thanks

That's up to you, but I would encourage you to try the natural way first.  Cholesterol lowering meds cause other problems, so no reason to go that route at your age.  The triglycerides usually come from eating foods with hydrogenated vegetable oil -- these should be eliminated completely.  You need to eat more of the good fats (HDL) such as wild cold water fish, fish oil. flax oil, hemp oil, flax seeds, hemp seeds, olive oil, beans and such, and less of the LDL foods, such as French Fries and burgers and such.  Seeing a good holistic nutritionist would be a good idea, and reading up on proper nutrition would also be a good idea.  Generally, more colored veggies and whole grains, fewer fried foods and low quality animal products, less fast food, more home-cooked.
