Yesterday - 11/23, I had my yearly physical with my General Physician. I have not used my inhaler for one full year - never needed it (and you should have seen me before bc). My HDL is 82 - a spectacular reading. He is thrilled. I am attributing the lack of asthma to my Omega 3/Meditteran Diet. This allowed to really begin to run again and the two together, I believe, reversed a high cholesterol problem I had (257 with an HDL of 40 and now 207 with an HDL of 82). I am really thrilled and impressed. I do watch my diet and try to eat primarily fruits, veggies, fish, poultry and grains but I do eat eggs and steak a couple of times a month but everyday I take my fish oil. Prior to meeting you on this board, I did some research too and feel that if one needs to watch things you should: take fish oil, take vitamin D, take one full strength aspirin daily, walk religiously - thanks for all your research - you make it easier for me and all of us. I think Omega 3 is key.
