My mornings generally start with a bowl of oatmeal and a cup of coffee, which I refuse to give up. And while I’m getting into gear, the Today show is playing on the boob tube.
I couldn’t believe my ears this morning when they did their little health section. The topic was kids and cholesterol. They were saying that some physicians want to start cholesterol testing as early as age 2. There is even discussion of starting children on cholesterol medication, such as statins, at the young age of 8.
Do we have a high cholesterol epidemic in this country or what? Thank you fast food, burger and fry restaurants, processed foods, chips, cheese, milk shakes, etc., etc.
Time for Food Changes
Bring on the fresh fruits and vegetables, cut back on the dairy, meats and sugars, and of course, get more exercise. Reducing the portion sizes of meals is also a plus.
Using more soymilk and tofu as an alternative to cow’s milk and meat would also be a great start. Soy makes better use of protein and calcium without the cholesterol side effects of animal products.
