So joey had a dr appt yesterday, he has gained a good bit of weight since his appt last year, and he had blood work done and his doc called today to let him know his cholesterol is high and he needs a 'strict diet'. (no talk of statins yet, but they are the devil so we're trying to avoid that for both of us, my cholesterol is high as well.) His dad has had a heart attack so I hate it, but I'm worrying.
Heart healthy changes we plan to make:
1.) Lean meats only
2.) Oatmeal for breakfast
3.) Start taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil
4.) Start taking cinnamon supplements (lowers blood sugar AND cholesterol)
5.) Drinking a glass of wine a day (Good for raising good cholesterol)
6.) Switching our unsweetened black brewed iced tea to unsweetened green brewed iced tea.
7.) Increasing fiber (half of every meal should be fruits/veggies)
8.) Juicing carrot/apple/orange juice once a day. (high fiber/lowering cholesterol recipe)
9.) Exercise to lower bad and raise good cholesterol
10.) Eat more almonds
I'm making a list of things for him to get on the way home today and we are going to tackle this stuff head on! To health! :D
