The correct word is: cholesterol.\n\nTwo ways:  1) Low fat diet.\n\n           2) Exercise

Recent studies have shown that reducing cholesterol to ultra-low levels with statin drugs can begin to reverse hardening of the arteries.\nOther than that, do not smoke, make sure your blood pressure is under control  and keep your cholesterol down via statins.\nIf diabetic, keep that under control also.

2 reasons why my hubby had a heart attack 2 years ago. i suggest each thing you buy at the store check the cholestrol number, saturated fat numberand all listed on the package.

My cholesterol was not controllable with lifestyle changes. This is not surprising since my mother had a heart attack at 42. I drastically changed my diet and began moderate exercise almost daily. Because of insurance, it was three years before I was able to follow up, but the numbers had barely changed.\n\nI am grateful for the cholesterol lowering drugs, in spite of any side effects I may have to deal with, and will gladly take it for the rest of my life. Considering that my son (who died of congestive heart failure at 15--the result of chemo) had to take 182 pills a week for the rest of his life, it simply doesn't seem a big deal. I am already 11 years older than my mother ever was and, with the cancer in my personal and family history, I'll be darned if my heart will take me out!

I'd say diet is probably key.  Watch your fat intake - especially trans fat.  Eat less red meat. Exercise. Drink red wine.  Check with your Doctor or nutritionist.  It's good to get a baseline bloodwork check and then make some diet changes and get the bloodwork done again to see if you lowered your cholestrol.  Some people still need cholestrol lowering meds to help.  HTH's

lipitor by prescription\n\nyou can also lower cholesterol by just eating oatmeal, or taking niacin supplements.\n\nniacin has been found to help lower cholesterol, the only things is- it causes some flushing, gives you a warm feeling.

Here are three - the AHA one is the best of them, in my opinion.... Beware "statin" drugs...they can cause irrevocable damage to your liver.....Just bare that in mind.   :O)   Good luck\n\nhttp://www.americanheart.org/presenter.jhtml?identifier=1516\n\nhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cholesterol.html\n\nhttp://www.webmd.com/diseases_and_conditions/cholesterol.htm

well, one thing that u could consider are fish oils (omega-3) supplements. they are considered healthy for the heart and can only b obtained from so called 'oily fish'. but as for whether they are absolutely critical in a diet is still subject for debate. u can ask ur DR about them =>

helpful foods...go to local food store, look for flaxseed (Hodgson Mills) that is ground. 1 tablespoon in cereal, yogurt etc.. per day.  REFRIGERATE after opening. Terrific as a cholesterol lowering, terrific for skin and is also an excellent laxative.  Garlic is also good.

High fiber foods. Fiber helps pull cholesterol out of the body. Oatmeal is an excellent breakfast food.\nEat more fruits/veggies, & cut back on your meat consumption, especially red meat.\nDrink more water, & less pop & juice.\nIncrease your whole grain consumption while decreasing refined, white flour products such as white breads & confections & pastries.\nYou would do well to add two supplements to your diet.\nSpirulina is an excellent addition, and so is chromium picolinate. You can find both of these at your local health food store.\nGood luck.

First of all, you need to watch your diet to lower your cholesterol and get on some medication to help lower it.  Do you exercise?  Have you been to the Dr. for this?  I'm not a Dr., but I'd say get to one right away and have them do some tests-Echo cardiogram, stress tests, etc.

Hi Jen\n\nHere are some ideas on how to heal your condition.\n\nQuick Action Plan for Preventing and Treating Heart Disease\n\n1. Since up to 50 percent of heart disease cases can strike without any warning symptoms, it’s important to regularly be screened for signs of heart disease. In addition to conventional heart disease signals, such as high blood pressure and cholesterol and triglyceride levels, have your health care provider also screen you for markers such as C-reactive protein, homocysteine, fibrinogen, lipoprotein(a), glucose, insulin, and iron.\n\n2. Also be sure to be screened for vulnerable plaque, which is the primary cause of 85 percent of all cases of heart disease. Effective screening tools for vulnerable plaque include ultra-high-speed magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and darkfield microscropy.\n\n3. You should also be screened for infectious agents such as Chlamydia, Helicobacter pylori, cytomegalovirus (CMV), and the herpes family of retroviruses\n\n4. Oxidized cholesterol, rather than elevated cholesterol levels by themselves, is another primary factor in most cases of heart disease, and therefore should also be screened for.\n\n5. A healthy diet is essential for a healthy heart. Emphasize a diet rich in organic whole foods, especially plenty of fresh, raw fruits and vegetables, oats, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and organic, free-range poultry and wild-caught, cold water fish, such as halibut, mackerel, orange roughy, and salmon (avoid farm raised salmon). Beans and legumes are also advisable due to their high fiber content. Throughout the day, drink plenty of pure, filtered water, and avoid drinking—as well as bathing, and showering in—unfiltered tap water, because tap water contains heavy metals and pesticide residues that can contribute to and worsen heart disease. Also be sure to regularly use healthy oils such as extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, flaxseed oil, and fish oils for the essential fatty acids they contain.\n\n6. Useful nutritional supplements for protecting your heart include beta carotene; vitamins B3 (niacin), B6, B12, C, and E; folic acid; the minerals calcium, chromium, magnesium, potassium, and selenium; the amino acids L-arginine, L-lysine, L-proline, and L-carnitine; coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10); and proanthrocyanidin (PCA).\n\n7. Useful herbs include foxglove, garlic, ginkgo biloba, ginger, hawthorn berry, linden flower, and motherwort.\n\n8. Be sure to engage in a regular exercise program that combines aerobic exercise and strength training. For best result, devote 30 minutes three times per week to aerobic exercise, and 45 minutes twice a week for strength training.\n\n9. Learn how to properly manage stress. Useful stress reduction techniques include biofeedback training, meditation, and yoga.\n\n10. If you smoke, stop immediately. Also avoid all exposure to secondhand cigarette smoke, and minimize your exposure to environmental pollutants. \n\nBest of health to you\n\nCheers
