I once weighed 67kg but had a cholesterol level of about 230, when the doctor saw my lipid test results he screamed, almost everything was in red. And when he asked me if I work out, I told him I was too skinny for that lol. Now I weight 74kg but my cholesterol level is about 179

And everything on my lipid test results is within a normal range. Point is just cause you're skinny or slim doesn't mean you're healthy. You might be dancing around a stroke.

For those asking about the changes I made:
I started going to the gym cos the doctor told me I would die if I didn't (exercise is very important).
I drink green tea, cranberry tea, cinnamon tea and Chinese tea everyday.
I stopped eating pork sausages (😢😭).

I stopped eating swallow and soup almost every day (I didn't eat swallow and soup for more than 20 times all of last year).
My cooking oil is completely cholesterol free.
I eat a lot of protein, salad etc.
I use garlic a lot. Sometimes, I chop it up and swallow.

I barely eat Shawarma, suya, chicken skin and all the beautiful things the doctor warned are bad for me 😢. I know it's hard and painful, I haven't cooked soup in 3 years and I used to eat Shawarma and suya every other day, but it is what it is ☺

To understand how bad my cholesterol level was, another doctor who is in her 50s and weighs about 90kg told me that for her age and weight her cholesterol is not as high as mine. And if I kept on living the way I was living, I wouldn't live to see her age.

And don't forget stress, I stopped stressing myself. I sleep well, always chilling and I removed toxic and stressful people from my life. Stress will kill you.
