How can i reduce my risks for the major heart concerns myself since my gp doesn't help?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet and exercise: Since almost all coronary artery disease is due to underlying Insulin resistance, treating the i.R. Will afford you the most protection. That means avoiding high glycemic index foods (starch, bread, white rice, potatoes, bananas, corn, carrots, peas, etc.) and getting regular, aerobic exercise (not just walking) for 30-45 minutes every other day.
