What is the best way to stabilize soft arterial plaque that every adult has in order to prevent a stroke, pe , heart attack, etc.?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Excellent Question: Statins- and other drugs and nutritional supplements that lower your LDL particle number and favorably alter your LDL pattern as much as possible. Omega 3 supplements to help lower triglycerides and change LDL pattern when appropriate. Anti- inflammatory diet- avoid sugar, high fructose corn syrup and the like- speak with a nutritionist. There are other suggestions but this is a good start!
