Have you had your cholesterol count checked lately? Here is a table showing my cholesterol test numbers from Long's Drugs (now CVS Pharmacy), at 2-year intervals, in 2004, 2006, 2008 and 2011. By testing your cholesterol levels more than once, you can see your trend over time.

1. The cholesterol numbers shown above are established by the American Heart Association. 2. The scales are linear. 3. The vertical alignment of the scales is arbitrary, and was done to align the white borderline areas, in order to facilitate comparisons. 4. The LDL levels shown with an asterisk are recommended for certain high-risk subjects. 5. As you can see, my cholesterol levels remained fairly stable over a 7-year period. Do you need to lower your high cholesterol numbers? You may need to take statin drugs.

The tests above were made at Longs Drug Stores (now CVS Pharmacy) by Heart Watch, specialists in Corporate and Public Health Screenings. Visit their website at WestCoastHealthServices.com, to find the next testing date in a California city near you. CVS Pharmacy bought Long's Drugs, but they do NOT offer the testing. This same testing is now offered at Whole Foods. You should have your cholesterol numbers tested periodically. If the LDL test numbers are too high, take action. Test again after a few months. You can reduce your high cholesterol naturally,
