The advice here with regard to blood pressure seems good and well founded. Part II about cholesterol on the other hand ...
While I am not convinced that cholesterol is the boogie man portrayed in popular health advice, it seems to me that certain subcategories of cholesterol are markers that should be watched. LDL, bad cholesterol, and HDL, good cholesterol, are examples of this. Although my doctor disagrees. He basically told me that the cholesterol numbers are of no value. Instead he is testing the size of my cholesterol. I should have this information soon.
Nor am I convinced that one should eat saturated fat like candy. Many in the alternative health area do think this. I doubt I will add butter to my morning coffee as some do! I have been known to add a little coconut milk to my coffee, may Ansel Keys forgive me! (Ansel Keys is the inventor of the meme that cholesterol is evil.)
