Sometimes High Cholesterol, can be in the Genes. Pre Triple Heart Bypass, I always thought I was a Healthy individual, however I soon learnt there is always an alternative. I eat mainly Veg, Fish and Plant Based food now, taken with Red Wine at the Weekend. You might not be able to avoid the Statins and Aspirin for long. Good luck on your new Journey Alastair.
So sorry for your cholesterol worries. I have familial high cholesterol and was advised to take stains. Most everyone I I knew on statins had muscle aches, developed diabetes and some had depression. No thank you. I read wheat belly and followed suit. No change. More workouts - nada. Low fat - nothing. After watching this documentary 2.5 years ago I stopped eating meat and eat mostly plant based diet. I still have some cheese and occasional fish. My cholesterol dropped for the first time. I wish you and your wife good health and happiness. https://youtu.be/O7ijukNzlUg
Thanks for another good read, Alastair, and good luck with the health kick. Those of us immigrants to Portugal who are also in the warning areas on cholestrol / weight issues need the periodic dig in the ribs that exercise costs nothing and pleasurable eating/ drinking need not be excessive given the right miind set. I was going to get brie pate and Douro to accompany watching the rugby tomorrow but maybe, following your briefing, I will compose a substitute menu! Hope the building goes well!
