Cholesterol levels? Doctors/health care professionals please.?

I had some disturbing news from my doctor. My total cholesterol level was 233. (HDL = 73, LDL = 141) Triglycerides 116. Glucose 80.

I was told by my doctor to eat foods low in saturated fats, but I already eat in a very healthy way. I am only 25, 5’2", and 105 lbs! I also exercise 3 times per week.

Should I be concerned now, or just have it tested in 6 mo and go from there? The reason I am concerned is that I don’t see what lifestyle changes I could possibly make. Thanks!
Also – it runs in my family. Both my parents are very thin but have high cholesterol (medicated), but didn’t become medicated for it until their 40s.
I already eat fish 2-3 times per week, take a fish oil supplement, and eat oatmeal 3-4 days a week for breakfast. The other days I eat special K or raisin bran.
I exercise 4-5 times per week. I am a triathlete and a martial arts (Wushu) instructor/master.

Health Project: Heart Disease\Cholesterol?

I have to make a health project about Heart Disease and cholesterol. I need a 2 -3 minute video clip about the subject. Does anybody have any suggestions? I didn’t see fast food nation, but I thought that might have something.

Also, if you have seen any interesting articles online about the subject, that would help too.

      How come stupid people answer health questions? 95% 'best answers" chosen on cholesterol queries are bogus.

      What you’ve been told about cholesterol the last 35 years is largely false. Here is the truth: 1. Too low a cholesterol can result in a stroke. 2. 97% of the body’s cholesterol is produced by your own liver in response to genetics and lifestyle: eggs are good for you; controlling cholesterol by diet is like controlling cancer by playing bingo 3. Cholesterol is a normal waxy body substance and the biggest user is the human brain: not enough cholesterol for the brain and you die or are crippled by a stroke 4. Some primitive rural peoples have cholesterol levels above 350 and are perfectly healthy 5. There are two types of cholesterol: good or high-density (HDL) cholesterol is a special fat that we need in our bloodstreams. HDL helps carry bad low-density (LDL) cholesterol from the body. 6. If your HDL/LDL ratio is very high, it doesn’t matter what your overall cholesterol readings are, you are still far healthier than someone with a 120 reading and 102 LDL: strokebait!!!!
