I TOLD HIM NO THAT IS GOING TO SHORTEN HIS LIFE, he just ignores me and doctors. what can i do to help him changed his mind.
Hello there I have read through your question and would like to tell you that since your friend has high BP and high cholesterol it is very important for him to follow a healthy diet. Eating fried and processed food is an absolute no for him. He should be on a low salt and low fat diet. Tell him to switch to a healthy oil like rice bran or olive oil. He should include a lot of fibres in his diet like green leafy vegetables, legumes as they help to bring down the cholesterol. Continues counseling is the key to make him understand the benefits of a healthy diet. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing healthcare magic.
