My cholesterol straightened itself out once I got control of my diet.
My BP is a different story but I have about 15 years on you that I have worked on this.
I was an Army Mess Sgt so I can cook and enjoy it.
First ask about 81 mg aspirin. Take 120 mg fish oil twice a day. Forget the statins — quit eating garbage.
First of all, cut out the corn sugar — no soda pop, just iced tea with lemon or water. It will take you only two weeks to get used to it.
Then cut out the salt, sugars and carbs. Don’t worry about fats. Eat meats without added salt and veggies. By good vinegar, oils, spices and have fun cooking. Eat three meals a day and go to bed with an empty stomach.
You will be at 190 lbs in a year and everyone will tell you that you are 10 years younger than you were.
I'm missing a kidney, so I can't drink tea.
Because of brain surgery, aspirin is out of the question, too. I have no desire for a stroke from aspirin.
And why would I want to gain to hit 190 lbs. I'll stick with 130 where I feel good.
Different strokes for different folks, and one size never fits all.
