Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXXX
Having snacks or food will not alter the lipid profile. As your age is 34 you can still try to reduce it by altering the lifestyle habits.
1. Do regular exercise.
2. Reduce large meals.
3. Stop junk foods.
4. Avoid Red meat. You can consume Fish and other sea foods.
5. Have Omega 3 supplements.
6. Try having lot of fresh fruits and vegetables.
7. Avoid dairy products.
Get your lipid profile repeated after 3 months of your lifestyle changes. If still the levels are high then you can start on the medical treatment.
take care.
