Nutrition & exercise: Nutrition & exercise are key to health, weight control, proper blood pressure & cholesterol, too. However, there are those who are genetically predisposed to high BP & cholesterol despite doing everything right. That's where medications come in handy, such as statins to lower cholesterol. Chat w/doc to determine 10yr risk for heart attack. Then see how far off you are from goal to choose statin.
