Cholesterol is quite common so I was wondering what kind of diet regimes do people follow in order to keep their levels down. |
I haven't met anyone yet who has had that blood test and not been over the recomended level. The medication supplied under prescription I believe is the worlds biggest seller to the pharmaceutical companies.
My parents and grand parents etc some fat some thin all lived into their 90's without knowing what their cholesterol level was. Some were vegetarians some were omniverous and some were gluttons. It did not seem to have affected their life spans or well being.
Incidently I take medication for it but that is only to keep the doctor happy!
