Re: Questions about my plan of attack?
Posted: Fri Jan 16, 2015 7:37 pm
so why did my MD cardiologist tell me to get a blood test, he wants to give me statins, and when I rebuffed that idea, I asked him how to naturally lower my cholesterol/risk of heart disease, isnt niacin a good start? he said yeah, but that's about it all
we didnt agree with me about losing weight. 2 yrs ago at 81kg, my blood lipids were great... but he didnt think they'd go back to that level if I just lost weight..
why not? I asked, he didnt explain, rebuffed with, "well, you never know!"
I appreciate your help, my friends Dad(cardiolgist) died from a stroke a few years ago, I have both grandpas in my family dead from heart attacks, my Dad has a-fib, so if taking 7-10 grams of vitamin C can help me not die from CVD, I'd really work at it.
I'm losing weight
taking 14-28grams vit C/day
6+grams lysine
eating in a caloric deficit
taking SuperK complex
taking niacin
taking a few grams of Omega 3s
walking/riding bike
lifting weights
basically the things said in this post
I'm trying to get my weight down to prevent diseases, I think being fat(bodyfat 27%) is going to hurt me, which is why I'm taking AI's to lower estradiol
I know this is a long post, but I'm hoping I'm finally on the right track to my heart and arteries back into shape
THanks!
