When people say "eat better" (or doctors, for that matter), it means literally nothing because what people usually do is go exchange chicken for beef or lower their fat intake from 40% of calories to 30% and wonder why that doesn't work. The facts are vastly different than what drug companies tell you -- that diet and exercise don't always work. Diet and exercise will work in almost all people (there may be a few people with a genetic difficulty ridding the body of cholesterol) if you do the correct diet. That diet would be the one recommended by Dean Ornish, or Neal Bernard, or Dr. Pinckney, who hosts the heart problems discussion group here, it would be calories from fat less than 10%. In order to do that you must eliminate all animal products and eat a plant-based diet including vegetables, whole grains, beans, and fruit. Many people have had great success with this kind of eating lifestyle, find they can eat as much as they want as long as they stick to the right foods, reverse artery blockages, go off blood pressure medications and statins, lose weight, and have so much more energy, along with many other benefits. A diet such as this also may lower your risk of many cancers, as well as diseases such as osteoporosis. But your doctor probably isn't telling you this, and neither are the drug companies, the drug companies want you and everybody else to purchase their products for the rest of your life.

To find out all about how to achieve naturally good health and nix the drug merry-go-round, read books by the above-mentioned people. You might also be interested to read the China Study by T. Colin Campbell.

Take charge of your own health and take the time to read and research, nobody is going to care as much about your health as you do and the information is out there.
