Not really: There is no cure for arteriosclerosis. Everyone is going to have some arteriosclerosis if you live long enough. You can slow progression of arteriosclerosis by controlling your risk factors: blood pressure goal <130/80mmhg; ldl goal< 100mg/dl; daily aerobic exercise > 45 minutes; not smoking; staying close to normal BMI of < 25kg/m2; if you are diabetic, keep good control with A1c goal < 7.

LargelyYes TxDrivers: See: https://www.Healthtap.Com/#user_questions/40759, people with excellent measured LDL (nmol/l) & HDL (μmol/l) concentrations (see NMR particle test), low normal blood glucose (optimal hba1c =5.0%), low normal blood pressure, do not smoke, not obese & eat few carbs, rarely develop ds. Thus emulate these behaviors, have seem many people dramatically improve over last decade using this knowledge.
