Sir, I am 33 years old. I have high cholesterol, when I first time checked it was 275 .after taking medicine rosuvas10 for one month and again tested it reduced to 130. I did not take medicine and left oily items and meat milk etc and did physical exercise of one hour everyday and again tested after six months it is found again 247 .Now my question is after leaving all oily food and fatty food and doing exercise why it is not under control?

Food does not change blood cholesterol, so whatever diet you take he numbers will be similar. One must take care of cholesterol if it is ALWAYS above 320. 275 is good, so best not to measure it again. Exercise helps to lower cholesterol. Rosuvastatin is required for people who already have heart trouble. Taking it before you fall sick is not so helpful. If you wish to avoid heart trouble discuss diet with people who are healthy at ninety. That is the sensible way.
