Answers:
Avoid any red meat and all bad animal saturated fat!. Avoid sweet fruit!. Eat fruit with its fiber or blender not sweet fruit juice!. Banana, mangoes, papaya, corn, carrot and potatoes also contain hidden sugar!. Whole wheat bread is good but don't take it alone!. Spread with a little fresh margarine or extra virgin olive oil to slower the carbohydrate absorption in the digestive system!. It will also be better if you take the bread with some tuna or cold roast chicken slice!.

Choose the slow cooking oatmeal, not the instant one!. Cook it slowly with non fat milk!. Allow one egg any style at your taste!. Relax your mind!. Have routine exercise and good enough sleep at night!. Good healthy nutrition combined with other healthy life style and supported by quiet mind can be called as holistic approach or comprehensive manner for our health!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

if you can tolerate it use garlic when you cook!. fresh is best but garlic powder works as well!. some orange juices contain plant sterols that are advertised as being able to lower cholesterol!. these juices taste the same as regular juices!. if you get tired of oatmeal eat some cheerios!. since you can't take vitamins niacin is out but it does work!. salmon is good so you can get the omega 3 fatty acids!. flax oil or seeds are good as well!. i think walnuts and almonds help as well!. call your local hospital and talk to a dietician!. i wish you well!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
