high total cholesterol and high LDL

Hi,

I was hoping to get some help or alteast some information from you all.

Last

week my daughter had her blood tested and they called this morning to tell

me

that her cholesterol levels are high. They said her total is 209 and they

like

it to be 170 or under. Her LDL is 140 and they said they would like it to

be

under 100. So needless to say I am very worried. They want to send me to a

nutritionist which I am okay to go to but the reason I am so worried is

that my

child is a very good and healthy eater. I am very blessed to have a child

that

loves fruits and veggies and we are not ones that eat bad that and go to

Mcs and all of that all of time. She is also no where near overweight

and

she is a sensory seeker so needless to say she is very active and not a

child

that sits around all of the time so lack of exercise is not the cause! High

Cholesterol does run in my family though but it just worries me that she is

only

4 and already has issues and I really do not want to put her on medicine

this

young. Anyways I was just wondering if any of your kids have gone through

any

of this or if you have any advice or any ideas on things that help.

Thank you so much for any information you have.

Angie
