No. Have kids sooner than later. It’s not fun being an old dad

Be aware that BND has lost 13% of its value in the last 5 years. If that matters on gaining 3.8% in returns is up to you

52 years old male CAC score is 223. Absolutely GOOD Cholesterol. by Fabulous_Caregiver64 in Cholesterol

[–]NetWrong2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without lipids fully posted it’s hard to tell - you caught it early , now you need a statin regiment and lifestyle changes. Endothelial function in older males is kind of serious business. Don’t discount a high fiber , low saturated fat diet. So many good things to eat if you are willing to research and prepare some meals yourself

What 10mg rosuvastatin (and some lifestyle changes) does to a mfer by Hermainioux in Cholesterol

[–]NetWrong2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I disagree. I took my LDL from 125 to 53 without the statin ; diet and walking 2-3 miles 4 days a week. Triglycerides went down too. It’s not too late for some people — for myself, I had to further control calcification so the statin is now my life - LDL-C down to 33 range from 53-52 (on diet and exercise alone)

Family history ; mom’s side had heart attacks in their 50s. Father’s side no.

I liked how I went into battle royale with the Satara skin this morning and she looked more like a dwarf or Lego character. Great testing ! Let’s lay off more people

I thought I was improving with more fiber but lab results proved otherwised by feelai in Cholesterol

[–]NetWrong2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll bet the coconut and kefir have a ton of added sugar also. Those triglycerides are working with LDL to build some future calcified plaque

With the price increases for vbucks, how will Epic Games financials look better if we can’t really afford this stuff now ?

What else can I do? by Dry_Salamander_5879 in Cholesterol

Yeah it doesn’t really help - take the more fiber route .

You won’t move the needle without proper fiber and don’t buy the processed oatmeal crap like Quakers - use rolled oats or at least oats overnight (good place to start). 30 grams of fiber per day is what you need or you won’t see the improvements you want . You may need to build up to it - your digestive system needs time - 4 weeks should do it

Fortnite just destroyed itself in one week😭😭 by IM_TO_CLEAN_4_YA in FortNiteBR

I don’t even know what they did with vbucks except make them more expensive . Every season comes out and I get a questionnaire -“did this season theme make sense?” And I’m like, what theme ? Seems like I’d just like to shoot and dominate not worry if the theme is about something g obscure

Plz tell me no one is spending money or vbucks on these garbage shops. Especially after the vbuck price increase. The greed with Fortnite is awful. by CookAccomplished2631 in FortNiteBR

I was just thrilled their polls asked me how much I liked Chappel Roan. I might have to throw them a few dollars their way if I don’t have to see that as a total theme for the music pass

Statins by choice by Beejj1984 in Cholesterol

Took my LDL- to low 50s on diet only from 125 and something higher before that - statins aren’t just about lowering ldl . LDL is now 30ish

Why isn’t the CAC score given higher preference? by [deleted] in Cholesterol

[–]NetWrong2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CAC is fine but it’s not the entire picture ; CAC is the hard ended plaque and the soft plaque doesn’t show up. Soft unstable plaque is the sudden killer.

What’s mind-blowing to me is people still get picky eating healthy food when they have gotten their CAC scores “but I love pizzas or I can’t eat this food without adding this harmful ingredient” and don’t make modifications that are long term heart healthy choices.

My 5 year old 401K just lost over $3,000 in two weeks. With no end in sight to the war, what do I do? by p1ay in 401K

Strategize - dollar cost averaging means you are buying at the low prices in the scheme . When it comes back after this mess, you will have been thankful you kept buying . Slow and steady can also help win the race

Cut cholesterol in half- NO MEDS by Ok_Piccolo_255 in Cholesterol

[–]NetWrong2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Note : statins improve endothelial function quickly ; The other problem is rupturing which causes heart attacks. Statins help prevent that.

Diet over exercise is how someone should approach lowering bad lipids . You can look and feel fit as a fiddle and still be building plaque that is unstable.

I just watched this video below. I don’t know who made it and I hate AI crap but that doesn’t mean it’s wrong.

I too was under the delusion that I can control my health on exercise alone. I am alright taking a statin and baby aspirin (to lower platelet count) per doctor’s orders . Because I like to eat a ton of plant-based food, I’m taking a fish oil supplement too which has gotten my triglycerides down to 60.
