I'm going to ask for a reference on the soy comment. I know there's a lot of fear mongering on soy but I haven't heard of any studies to prove that.
Rest of the advice seems good. Lower fat in diet (specifically dairy fats), increase exercise, higher fiber, lower sugar, more nuts/avocados/salmon.
Treat the disease and not the numbers - so look at all your risk factors for atherosclerosis.
- ralmidani 4y agoI’m not suggesting avoiding soy altogether, just cautioning against excessive consumption of it. Studies are showing mixed conclusions, but it’s not all fear mongering: Study showing some effect: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15735098/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15735098/ Study showing little effect: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11880595/ https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11880595/ While the evidence is inconclusive, I wouldn’t take chances if I were trying to have kids. I would imagine getting __all__ of your protein from soy could potentially be harmful, perhaps even in ways other than decreasing testosterone and sperm count. In general, everything in moderation is best.
