[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 161632, member: 11028"] Well for what's its worth I am a great believer that diet plays a important role in maintaining good cholesterol numbers. My own method is to ensure that I eat foods high in fibre such as fruit and vegetables, pulses and wheat-bran, I also eat oily fish at least twice a week and take a cod liver oil supplement each and every day. Twenty-plus years ago I was by my then gp that garlic was one of the best foods in maintaining good cholesterol levels and promoting cardiovascular health, so I often use garlic in my cooking and have taken a garlic supplement daily ever since. I don't eat a lot of red meat or processed meats and cut back even more after reading the health risks and its association with cancer last year, but when I do I choose lean meats with the fat removed and also opt for low-fat diary every-time. The highest my cholesterol has been in recent years was 4.8, and at present it is 4.3 with good lipoprotein levels which pleases my gp. I must stress that the above is only my own view and anyone contemplating changing their diet or taking supplements would do well to speak with their gp first. Nigel [/QUOTE]
