Joe emails: That cholesterol is too high at your age. You need a multi-part approach. My advice as to daily intake:<\/p>\n
1. Drink only tea or water. No coffee, soda, alcohol.<\/p>\n
2. Lose weight. If you are six feet tall, you should be under 180.<\/p>\n
3. Substitute fish in your diet for meat. Reserve meat for days when you have sex.<\/p>\n
4. Take niacin – the non flushing kind.<\/p>\n
5. Take Zinc too.<\/p>\n
6. No salt whatsoever.<\/p>\n
7. Exercise by doing punishing cardio for at least 45 minutes every other day. I am talking running uphill, plyometrics, something where you sweat an ungodly amount. Yes, yoga is fine, but not enough.<\/p>\n
8. Eat a meal a day of just fiber – try a salad, with tomatoes and broccoli, or get used to all fiber cereals and eat that.<\/p>\n
9. Cut out white bread.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
