Venting... new cholesterol issue

[shootingstar]

Would cut back on red wine. Think about it: there are whole cultures that do not have wine often/or none at all, as part of their diet. And some of those people on such diets are healthy for at least 70-80 yrs. of their life. ANd no cholestrol nor triglyceride problems.

WIne and beer have calories. Yes, I know about so called benefits of red wine. But really? It is alcohol in the end and it has calories. It's sort of thing only couple glasses per month or less.

A nuts..is handful of unsalted nuts at times. But daily??? No. Nuts are healthy in small amounts, but can be heavy in calories.

Add more variety and range of veggies plus diversify in preparation methods. Reduce in salt in food (something I better do more.).
