Hyperlipidemia management at M/S Lite Life
Firstly, we inspect the blood work of the patient, and if cholesterol is high or triglycerides are high according to the reports, a diet is planned. We also emphasize on having an exercise routine, as we focus on fat loss. Once we achieve our target of the weight and the fat levels, we again examine the blood work and compare the differences between the patient’s initial condition and post treatment condition. Most of the clients start seeing a difference within the first 2 months.
