What cholesterol med instead of crestor

Eat fish. I could not reduce my cholesterol to save my life and then a Ukrainian refugee came to live with me and we started eating more fish because of her and my cholesterol dropped 40 points in two months. When she left my cholesterol, went back up. So I started eating fish again and I dropped my cholesterol 70 points. Just the triglycerides are another story those I drop by getting rid of “white“ things like white rice, white potatoes, white bread basically everything that is simple carbohydrate. Substitute complex carbohydrates like brown rice, red potatoes, whole grain, pastas whole-grain bread. I dropped my triglycerides 90 points in three months! I totally believe in food as medicine. They put me on statins once but I had a reaction to it. I’m on the fish oil tablets, but it does zero it’s managing my diet that fixed everything on a regular basis.

@loriesco thanks, but fish... yuk. I don't love fish. I'll have to try it again. Now shrimp I could do.

@ronludington I am trying to expand from shrimp as well. 😜

@loriesco, I do understand fish helps. However, I have a question related to your improved numbers following adding fish to your diet.

Did you add fish to your diet, or perhaps replace another food that may of had an impact as well?

@jlharsh nope it was fish.. Clearly fish, a variety of dry fishes like cod and halibut fish and chips, battered fish and sardines. Sardines with lots of lactose free cream cheese. You could supplement with legumes and nuts for your protein. I already ate well eating a variety of pork, chicken fish lamb, and meats and legumes. It was the addition of fish and a reduction on the others which markedly decreased my cholesterol. I’ve been taking the fish oil tablets for 54 six years, didn’t do a thing. I included salmon and shrimp, but I have gout so I have to limit the fun oily fishes and their purines. I have already been eating a lot of white meat chicken for several years because of my dog and lean pork and occasional lamb. But it was the addition of the sardines and salmon and dry fishes That did it. My background is nutritional chemistry and health in college so I kinda knew what I was doing when I did it to be able to say that’s what it was. And clearly to do it a couple times made indisputable the result!

@ronludington you don’t like fish and chips you don’t like fish sticks? What kind of human being are you, lol! I happen to enjoy salmon and I did a lot of of that. I understand why you don’t like fish, but I’m here to tell you you haven’t had delicious good fish, fresh non-fishy fish like danish, Icelandic cod, tilapia, halibut, and the dry fishes which aren’t fishy like the oily fishes like sardines. But there’s a reason that eastern Europeans eat those sardines and oily fishes and have good healthif you enjoy taking the medicines do that. unfortunately, for some people tasty fish isn’t available, but you can find it in the freezer section of most stores and they pack yet when it’s just caught these days so it’s not as fishy as it used to be. Use lemon and limes. To make it less fishy and cook in sesame oil and almonds.

@loriesco I could do battered fish, but sardines, I don't think so. What is dry fish ? And how did you cook the halibut / cod ?

@loriesco never had fish and chips in the US. Fish sticks, yes I like those but being battered, I figured that couldn't be good. Probably dipped and oil or grease fried...

@ronludington I bake it or fry in oil/rice wine vinager (to take any "fishy" off). I LOVE salmon baked or poached. Google has tons of recipes for peeps like you! Good eating!

@ronludington frozen.

@ronludington dry fish means it is leaner. Cod/halibut.
There are also moist fishes like sole and others. Gotta learn your fishes!
