According to the American Heart Association, having a cholesterol level of 240 or more puts you at extremely high risk of developing heart disease or stroke. Heller suddenly found himself among the 38 million Americans who are living life on the edge. They are considered borderline high risk. 8220;To help bring my levels down to the more desirable level, which he told me was 200 or less, my doctor put me on statin blockers, told me to start getting out and exercising, and to change my diet, 8221; says Heller.
