Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
Relax / There is nothing alarming in this.
Triglyceride is just above the limit / Full 14-hour fasting is necessary for proper interpretation – did he fast? If so, even then it is not a cause for concern, being borderline.
HDL is just below the limit / More the merrier! / It is good cholesterol. Regular exercise can help to increase /
LDL is high / LDL (& non-HDL) is bad cholesterol – lower, the better.
The value of 117 is somewhat high for LDL cholesterol.
In the absence of any other risk factor 100 is ideal.
In the presence of heart disease, 70 should be the aim.
Keep the weight to normal / even a little less
Quit smoking, if he is a smoker
Do regular EXERCISE – say walking or jogging - 30 minutes a day / at least 5 days in a week. [Isometric exercise (like bull worker) is not recommended].
Healthy FOOD is a must.
Avoid saturated fats – coconut oil, palm oil, butter, ghee, full cream milk...
Avoid junk foods in particular – French fries have palm oil / Pizza has cheese / Indian sweets are made in ghee...
Change to Poly-un-saturated oil – like sun flower oil.
Include Mono-un-saturated oil – Olive oil.
Repeat the test in 6 weeks.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
