My lovely husband has just had surgery because his left carotid artery was 80% blocked. He has very high cholesterol even though he eats mostly vegan these days, but not in the past.
His continuous high cholesterol is genetic and runs in his family.
Now that he has had surgery, I think it's important for him to do everything he can to help keep his cholesterol as low as possible. We don't like the idea of maintenance pharmaceutical drugs, but in his case it's necessary to take a statin.
After seeing what he had to go through I feel that anyone who can help their cholesterol with diet should definitely do so. Using diet, is by far the best option and a no brainer, since the risk of stroke is so high and the risks and the discomfort from surgery are not something you want to deal with, unless totally necessary.
Feel better soon, babe
