[QUOTE="1oldsoul, post: 77219, member: 15843"] Body fat can be much better...it hovers around 16%. I strength train 4 times per week (2 days of upper and 2 days of lower), plus I do sprint intervals 2 days per week and another day of low intensity cardio at times. I am struggling with jumping on board with a statin. I never truly bought into the theory that cholesterol causes heart attacks. My thought process (and I may very well be wrong) has always been that stress, sugars, etc. causes inflammation in the body, so your body increases production of cholesterol to heal itself. Inflammation is the true problem, not cholesterol. Taking a medication that lowers your body's natural way to heal itself seems counterproductive. I also am not wild about the side affects like muscle/joint aches and increased chance of developing diabetes. Diabetes (type 2) does run in my family. Again, I may very well be completely wrong, and am open for learning. [/QUOTE]
