What are the best things to do to prevent heart disease?
What should your total diet be like to prevent heart disease?
Is it safe to work out on the Elliptical Machine if you want to prevent any heart problems?

I'd appreciate some perspective in a couple areas:
1. With a growing # of women (breast cancer survivors) living on aromatase inhibitors - thoughts on heart health while living with extremely low estrogen.
2. What do we know about how (dry) sauna impacts the cardiovascular system
3. Statins - are they really worth the side effects?

@kanaazpereira,
I am glad you posted the above comment..many people are not aware about the cause of high cholesterol level in the blood..It is not the cholesterol in our food/diet, which is responsible for the changes in the blood vessels. NO, we, ourselves, produce too much cholesterol in the liver. Statins slow down the production in the liver. a low-fat diet can help, but can not replace the statins medication..

Hello @kanaazpereira

I appreciate the well thought out response regarding the use of statins. I think you have provided some good information for those of us taking statins.

Teresa
