      xercise, and sleep well.

      Yeah I agree I dont think it is right to take that much amount to be honest.
      I will try to get it from outside, but the weather for the last 2-3 months was aweful, very cold and I cant stand the cold anymore, I get extra cold other than anyone else.

        I rarely go to the doctor and have not had blood work in a few years. My fiance was going through my old medical results from a Health insurance exam and she said all my labs looked great. I chuckled as I don't do much health wise (don't eat bad but not good, drink and smoke and don't exercise) but am apparently fit as a fiddle.

        Lucky genetics.

        Yeah. I suppose. Working on changing patterns as luck will always run out.

          Dude your more screwed than I, with 4.7 ratio, I am 4.3

          You need to worry about Raising HDL and not lowering LDL. LDL is good to have in normal amount.

          Consume olive oil. Extra virgin olive oil may be more healthful than processed olive oils. ...
          Follow a low-carb or ketogenic diet. ...
          Exercise regularly. ...
          Stop smoking. ...
          Lose weight. ...
          Eat fatty fish often.
          Avoid artificial trans fats

              I read this before, but you can still get Vitamin D made during cloudy weather, it just takes longer. The clouds if I remember correctly halve the UV energy (I need to re-verify this, but I think it's roughly accurate) that reaches your skin.

              Perhaps much much smaller amounts of supplementation could help during those days. I believe it would be better than absolutely nothing at all.

                  My Vitamin D last test was 30 which is low, taking pills for it, my doctor suggested 50.000 IU weekly.

                  Your doctor made a suggestion of taking a lot of Vitamin D supplementation.

                  I'm just an IT guy, but I disagree with your doctor and here's why:

                  I won't say anything, only link references so this way I can't be attacked by you all over it.

                  But I will say that you are correct here:

                  @Emad-R said in Low HDL Cholestrol 😞:

                  ... exercise and sun

                  and diet of course.

                  Why would sun matter if you don't think he should get more Vit D, or at least shouldn't get more from supplements?

                  I'll clarify what I meant by my post:

                  His Vitamin D levels are low. His doctor tells him to take high Vitamin D supplementation. I disagree with this, and think he should instead get his Vitamin D from the sun (which actually doesn't take long if you read the articles and studies), as well as eat healthy, exercise, and sleep well.

                  This of course assumes he has a normal skin response. Also some people just don’t have time to spend say 30 mins daily outside in the noon sun.

                  I’m sure there are many other benefits to being in the sun other that Vit D, but the time can be a real issue. I know right now I’m not going to with it being 15 or lower all week πŸ˜›

                    LOL. My apologies. (In Celsius) Sweatshirt to 23.8, 43.3 in Vegas, Texas (higher humidity) or 38.3 in Mexico with humidity. :grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:

                      Oh also I forgot to tell you , i did wet cupping or hijamah recently, to improve blood cirulation

                      Youtube Video

                      I understand it can freak ppl out, but I thought what the hell I want to try everything, the idea is that apparently we have filters or blood accumulation in the back, large of them, and donating blood helps and does similar effects but what this does is make them clot, and try to capture as much as possible toxin bloods , i liked it, the person and center was very clean and it is kinda in our tradition and religion. I heard Michael Phelps does the dry verison.

                        @Emad-R I often see UFC fighters with cupping marks on them when they get into the ring.

I disagree with this, and think he should instead get his Vitamin D from the sun (which actually doesn't take long if you read the articles and studies), as well as eat healthy, exercise, and sleep well.

                                This of course assumes he has a normal skin response. Also some people just don’t have time to spend say 30 mins daily outside in the noon sun.

                                I’m sure there are many other benefits to being in the sun other that Vit D, but the time can be a real issue. I know right now I’m not going to with it being 15 or lower all week πŸ˜›

                                You obviously read zero of what I posted earlier... so meh.

                                If you read none of it, at least glance at this one.

                                I’m working I don’t have time to read through all those links NOW.

                                  My Vitamin D last test was 30 which is low, taking pills for it, my doctor suggested 50.000 IU weekly.

                                  Your doctor made a suggestion of taking a lot of Vitamin D supplementation.

                                  I'm just an IT guy, but I disagree with your doctor and here's why:

                                  I won't say anything, only link references so this way I can't be attacked by you all over it.

                                  But I will say that you are correct here:

                                  @Emad-R said in Low HDL Cholestrol 😞:

                                  ... exercise and sun

                                  and diet of course.

                                  Why would sun matter if you don't think he should get more Vit D, or at least shouldn't get more from supplements?

                                  I'll clarify what I meant by my post:

                                  His Vitamin D levels are low. His doctor tells him to take high Vitamin D supplementation. I disagree with this, and think he should instead get his Vitamin D from the sun (which actually doesn't take long if you read the articles and studies), as well as eat healthy, exercise, and sleep well.

                                  This of course assumes he has a normal skin response. Also some people just don’t have time to spend say 30 mins daily outside in the noon sun.

                                    Egg yolks and Cheese also have vitamin D. Not as much as fatty fish, but it can help.

                                      also since I can't drink milk (because it makes me sick) I drink unsweetened coconut milk and that also has vitamin D.
