High Cholesterol, Artery Plaque Reductio
Before this past winter I went in for a blood test. During the test it was found that my cholesterol was a little high, barely within reasonable ranges.
As a 21 year old male in college, you can imaging my diet is not very good. However, in light of this test, I have realized I need change.
My questions are:
If plaque has already been building in my arteries, is there some way, short of surgery that I can diminish it?
Can you direct me to any studies that indicate foods that might help?
