Re: [WISPA] Mac Dearman OT
My Dr. says my problem is hereditary (Macs is not). He said that diet doesn't hurt as much as the genes mom passes on. If this is the problem, unless your diet is less than 10% fat (almost impossible unless you just eat grass) you will continue to make too much cholesterol. The only way to control it is the meds. I watch what I eat as much as possible and limit beef or pork to once/week and no 22oz steaks:-( If I thought I was going to live this long, I would have taken better care of myself ;-) Jim Jeff Broadwick wrote: Since I got mine under control, I've gone back to some of the stuff God made like butter and eggs. Not a bunch, but it seems that all the transfat free stuff is just mostly chemicals. Oh, that and regular small amounts of dry red wine. :-) Just my own theory, but the French have much better cardiac health than we do.

Re: [WISPA] Mac Dearman OT
Since I got mine under control, I've gone back to some of the stuff God made like butter and eggs. Not a bunch, but it seems that all the transfat free stuff is just mostly chemicals. Oh, that and regular small amounts of dry red wine. :-) Just my own theory, but the French have much better cardiac health than we do.

I never cheat on the saturated fat. But occasionally I cheat to moderation on the cholesterol. I assume the statin drugs are doing their job! Another really bad one -- mayo. Take a look sometime at the fat content! -Original Message- From: Faisal Imtiaz [mailto:fai...@snappydsl.net] Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 1:19 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mac Dearman OT Ron, Aren't Shell Fish...

No cheese, bacon, sausage, cookies, doughnuts, beef, butter. Look for healthy alternatives. Believe it or not, before long even the heart-healthy foods will taste good. Seafood, no-fat cheese, more salads and very lean ham or turkey are good. No beef. Just read the nutritional labels on anything you buy before it goes in your mouth. I don't eat anything with more than 2 grams of saturated fat per serving. Meds: The docs played with the meds for a while until we finally got the LDL down 70. I'm on 10 Mg Zetia, 80 Mg Pravastatin (generic equivalent for Pravachol), 10 Mg Lisinopril (blood drug) and a baby aspirin. The statin drugs are notorious for causing muscle pains, but I don't have any problem tolerating the Pravachol. Word of warning to all: If over 40 I suggest that you have a test done to determine if there is any plaque buildup in your arteries. Don't rely on a simple stress test in combination with an annual physical to determine if heart-healthy. I had a stress test in which nothing showed up, 6 months before the heart incident (80-90% blockage in main arteries). Since my experience, all of my friends over 40 have had a heart CT scan (or some equivalent) done. One of them owned his own telecom company, and after the test, went out and bought a $10 mil life policy because they found something.

When the LDL is below 70 they have found that the arteries start to flush themselves of plaque build-up. Call when better and we can compare stents! :) My heart doc says it might even improve your libido! Can I say that on the list serv?
