Question: I am 35 years old
underwent angioplasty in XXXXXXX 2012 rca and lcx were blocked , no instances post plasty ,my dad also had to undergo the same at 55 yrs years of age, currently on ramipril 2.5 mg, met stamlo 50 mg ,clopitab 75 mg and atrovastatin 10 mg. was a smoker but now gave that up (i miss it though :) )
im borderline diabetic 113 sugar level don't take any pills for that , non hypertensive (140/80)

post my discharge from hospital i decided to under take lifestyle changes esp in area of food

gave up red meat and butter

My question is 3 fold
1st- is it safe more me to take /consume - omega 3 salmon capsule ( by amway) once a day , im told and i also read it some where that omega 3 boosts the efficacy of statin drugs and hampers the absorption of drugs like metformin and p.s- i dont take any tabs for sugar as im non diabetic
or should i rely on flax seed powder and allow my body to convert ALA ( fatty acid Alpha-Linolenic Acid) to EPA eicosapentaenoic acid & DHA docosahexaenoic acid

2nd- i used to take revital prior to my plasty can i continue that if not what mlty vitamin would u suggest

3rd- I have decided to give up on white sugar I wanted to rely on honey but honey these days which are commercially manufactured hv antibiotics in them so i am intending to rely on sugar free natura( a sucralose artificial sweetener) for my coffee and XXXXXXX tea and also for baking needs would that be a prudent choice
p.s- i cant stay from sweet things as i have sweet tooth.

4-My job demands attending a lot of meetings and seminars followed get together to stick to drinking Red wine only & strictly say 90 ml every alternate day/to be precise 3 times a week ,is that ok ?

Kindly elucidate on above doubts

Thank you for the guidance.

Sincerely XXXXXXX

*) I appreciate ur directional suggestion about the red wine consumption and il follow it as you have advised 2 drinks- 90 ml each 2 times a week only .or say just 90 ml once a week .

are all red wines same or are there any special red wines i might have to look out for ?

*) I would be starting on revital again
*) I try my best to stay away from desserts and yummy pasterys but i wish i didnt hv a sweet tooth but yes im trying 2 work on that bit by possible replace of sweets with fruits like banana ,grape juice and orange.
mainly i intend to use sugarfree for my XXXXXXX tea 2 times a day say XXXXXXX 2*2 pills of sucralose in a cup of XXXXXXX tea so il be cautious with excessive usage of sucralose as per ur advise.

lets focus on OMAC

question 1- is the omac u spoke of is OMACOR

WWW.WWWW.WW
just to be sure we r on the same page

if i take this then it would be one capsule a day right ? and if so then for how many months ?

p.s- i have 2 bottles of salmon omega 3 given to me by a friend would it harm me if i take a capsule a day n finish it off
before buying omacor ?



question 2- these days we get 0 cholesterol and 0 trans fat edible butter like nutralite and peanut butter
r they safe to eat in moderation ?
coz i hv given up on butter and ghee and eggs so i switched to nutralite and peanut butter for my toast.

Thank You !
