Will Healthy Diet Cure Cholesterol In Young Age?
Hi, my boyfriend is 29 years old with high cholesterol and triglycerides. His father has heart disease as well as on his mothers side of the family. I think this may be caused by a hereditary factor. If a heart healthy diet will not help lower these numbers, should he be put on meds at this young age?
