If you have cholesterol under control, it isn't counted against you. I can still get best rates even though I'm on a statin.
Man, is this the semi-geriatric wireless list or what!?!? :-) Jeff -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Jonathan Schmidt Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 1:04 PM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mac Dearman OT Note on life insurance...it's not good to "find out" first and not reveal it on the application nor to reveal it and pay double the premiums. . . . j o n a t h a n -----Original Message----- From: wireless-boun...@wispa.org [mailto:wireless-boun...@wispa.org] On Behalf Of Ron Harden Sent: Friday, January 16, 2009 11:56 AM To: 'WISPA General List' Subject: Re: [WISPA] Mac Dearman OT Diet: Low in saturated fat and low in cholesterol. No cheese, bacon, sausage, cookies, doughnuts, beef, butter. Look for healthy alternatives. Believe it or not, before long even the heart-healthy foods will taste good. Seafood, no-fat cheese, more salads and very lean ham or turkey are good. No beef. Just read the nutritional labels on anything you buy before it goes in your mouth. I don't eat anything with more than 2 grams of saturated fat per serving. Meds: The docs played with the meds for a while until we finally got the LDL down < 70. I'm on 10 Mg Zetia, 80 Mg Pravastatin (generic equivalent for Pravachol), 10 Mg Lisinopril (blood drug) and a baby aspirin. The statin drugs are notorious for causing muscle pains, but I don't have any problem tolerating the Pravachol. Word of warning to all: If over 40 I suggest that you have a test done to determine if there is any plaque buildup in your arteries. Don't rely on a simple stress test in combination with an annual physical to determine if heart-healthy. I had a stress test in which nothing showed up, 6 months before the heart incident (80-90% blockage in main arteries). Since my experience, all of my friends over 40 have had a heart CT scan (or some equivalent) done. One of them owned his own telecom company, and after the test, went out and bought a $10 mil life policy because they found something.
