Hello,
Thank you for contacting HCM
I understand your concern, I am Dr Arun Tank, Infectious Disease Specialist answering your query.

Its very bad prognosis that you do not have high cholesterol at the age of 23 years.

I advice you to stop the high oil diet, please start the exercise to reduce cholesterol.

Yes high cholesterol diet is risky, you should work to reduce the cholesterol.

I advice you should take high protein diet, high fiber diet absorbs cholesterol from intestine and protects from increasing it in the circulation.

Regular daily exercise also helps reduce the cholesterol. if you run a 1 kilometer daily it will reduce the cholesterol. start doing exercise.
