Good Health ??️‍♂️

HEART ❤️ TALK,

as most here know , i’m concerned about healthy thoughts wit nutrition in mind… to begin, in 2015 just before turning 60 I was interested to understand my cardiology health knowing how important the consequences would be of a sick heart in addition to family history…

so at the time, my Cardiologist Dr.W., did some test and suggested Lipitor ( statin to reduce cholesterol ) even though my total cholesterol was borderline high - 200mg… he suggested the south beach diet as well, ( useless )…

sometime after , i disconnected from Dr. W., and sought Dr.S. who turned out to be as i look back, a pill pusher… his prescription of Crestor 20mg was damaging, as many know Crestor and Lipitor ( statin ) cause heavy side effects… muscle & tendon strains. Eventually I dumped Dr.S., all the while struggling to get my cholesterol down with balanced diet, the pyramid…

A few years from the start, I met Dr.A., who suggested something more of a natural herb supplement which hardly made a dent in total, all the while taking note of my blood test results…

with a few years of working with Dr.A., her retirement at hand and so i’m on the look for a fresh Cardiologist 8 years after my initial journey..

in the picture now is Dr.2., who started the routine cardiology test in April and in this process, a bit of a scare set in… in 8 years reaching 67 now, things have degraded enough to dig deep…
yes i’m saying to myself, I eat beef & pork at a minimum, usually lots of vegetables, beans, eggs and dairy as the primary protein and so on… fruit and fiber could be more often… junk food is out, processed foods & meats is out, unhealthy snacks occasionally (potatoes chips) sugars are so, so…

so what is the most obvious problem in my diet causing these high numbers.?Ideal Total is -150mg and 50’s for LDL, all of my other numbers were very good except for the LDL…

so here i am now , a late April blood test of 208mg total, with a prescription for 10mg of Lipitor ( i hear 10mg is minimal ) I stopped eating all “dairy and eggs”.. the beef and pork is not in the equation at all, but sardines, fish and some chicken is… olive oils are reduced a good amount as well…
surprisingly, a second blood test results from 2 weeks ago , in less than a five week period, the total dropped like a rocket to 123, that’s nearly a 45% drop as with the others, LDL, and Triglycerides OUTSTANDING…

because I was always conscious bout good , simple eats, it wasn’t hard to disconnect from the eggs, dairy and oils that was causing the problem… eating more greens & beans is ok for me, it’s delicious…
i’m heading for a plant based diet , meaning much, much less of the obvious and more of plant based… it’s all good…

hope we can keep this discussion going… cellfish aka michael…

so for fun i’m noticed all pastas from different grains and grades, except for chick pea pasta, perhaps have nearly the same nutritional facts…

with that being said, i’ll stick with any brand made from Durham Semolina imported Italian pasta… cellfish…
