Done Angioplasty. Is Nutrilite Salmon Omega 3 Recommended?
Hi Doctor, There s an Amway Product, NUTRILITE® Salmon Omega-3 , which supposedly helps in increasing HDL . My father is 68 years old and has had done his angioplasty because of a block in his artery . Would you recommend that he have this product to keep his cholesterol in check, and increase HDL, when compare to his LDL?
HI
its true that HDL is good chloesterol but first recomandation is to control his LDL
to increase HDL take fish like salmon , tuna , sardish if you are nonvegetarian
you can also have wallnut which also a good source of HDL
avoid smoking as your father already underwent angioplasty then he must on statin like atorvastatin or rosuva statin it will also help in increase in HDL
with this above measure if he maintains HDL > 45 then continue dietary supplemantation
no neeed for NUTRILITE
AS measure advice by me is also very cost effective
I find this answer helpful
