Question by DBunny: Why the “no exercise” rule on the morning of a cholesterol test?
Does anyone know exactly why they say you should not exercise up to12 hours prior to a fasting cholesterol/triglycerides blood test? Does a workout falsely lower or raise the results? What if it’s just light cardio?
