[quote=Anonymous]We just got back results from a cholesterol test and my 3 1/2 year old son has high cholesterol. He had high cholesterol at his 3 year old appointment and we retook the test today and it came back high again. If anyone has any experience with successfully lowering their child's cholesterol, please post! My son has always been average height and in the 10th to 20th percentile for weight. He eats veggies and loves fruit, and has never been a good meat eater. He has always been a good milk drinker though so I wonder if that is the problem. We don't eat a lot of fast food - I'd say 1 or 2 times a month. I can't remember the last time we had McDonald's. We eat in a lot and I try to provide a lot of steamed veggies and healthy foods (of course, not perfect, but I don't think we eat a lot of processed foods). My son isn't super active, but we go out to the park/playground/backyard every day. He's super cautious so he's not very adventurous but I do get him to run around every day. I have high good cholesterol and my husband tested high in cholesterol but was able to bring it down with some exercise. We don't have any family history of high cholesterol (at least not that I know of). He will be tested again in 1 month. Thanks in advance for any advice!! [/quote]
