[1:35] One of the best things we can do during these winter weeks is to keep our immune systems as strong and healthy as we can.
[2:09] Dr. Phil explains why cholesterol is not your enemy.
[2:45] A healthy immune system requires cholesterol in order to function properly.
[6:07] Higher levels of cholesterol protect us from infections. Statin drugs can reduce cholesterol to the point of jeopardizing one’s immune system.
[7:03] Our total cholesterol should be between 180 and 240. Our total HDL (or good cholesterol), should be between 40 and 90 for women and between 35 and 90 for men.
[7:37] Statins not only lower the bad cholesterol, but often lower good cholesterol, or HDL, as well which is the protective cholesterol.
[8:36] Ask for a copy of your blood tests from your doctor so you can verify that your cholesterol really is in within a healthy range.
