Just had my blood work done up and my cholesterol wasn't bad, for the most part.
Total cholesterol 176
HDL 53
LDL 107 high
Triglycerides 79
My diet is what I considered very clean,
Breakfast every morning consists of a rotation of either, steel cut oats, old fashion oats or quinoa @1.5 servings mixed with wild blueberries, dried cranberries chopped almonds.
Either - 3 egg whites 1 whole egg or 2.5 servings of egg beaters, 2 Turkey sausage links or patties.
½cup reduced sugar OJ ½cup diet cranberry juice.
I'll switch up breakfast on the weekends of multi grain pancakes, with the same protein intake.
I could get into details of the rest of my meals, ....very clean/ balance ratio ..with proper timing every two hours consumption. ...Lean red meat,Salmon, boiled chicken, Sweet potatoes veggies, nuts ( in moderation)..And So on. Use extra virgin olive oil
Now I do have a sweet tooth every now and then, from my understanding sugar can raise LDL?
Since my last blood work up my LDL has gone up 8 points. Maybe from the extra sugar or not hitting the gym like I would like 2-3 per week lately. ...(house remodeling) glad when I get that shit done.
So My question to the Masses is, would RYR and COQ10 be of benefit? Or is there the possibility that the extra sugars and lack of gym time played a roll in the rise in LDL?
Are there brands that are considered better? Which I'm sure there is, any suggestions on a particular brand?
My current supplements are
New Chapter mens multi
New Chapter Omegas, total EFA's per day is 6 grams
Jarrow CLA, 4 grams per day
Jarrow ALCAR 1 gram total per day
D3 3000IUs per day
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
