Message: <blockquote data-quote="Yorksman" data-source="post: 513006" data-attributes="member: 55568">If you need to lower your cholesterol then statins will help but, do you need to lower your cholesterol?Also, you can lower your cholesterol by eating certain foods, oily fish, nuts, foods high in fibre such as brocolli or oats, olives, you can google the list, and also avoid eating too much red meat and include more poultry in your diet.Or you can take the pills but, they often come with side effects including, for some types, raising blood sugar levels. At least, that's what it says on my pack of atorvastatin.I'm on the lowest dose and hope to stop taking them altogether.Oh, and surprise surprise, exercise has a very big cholesterol lowering effect.  GPs only prescribe this stuff because they don't believe that you will do these things for yourself.</blockquote>
