Jim has emphysema as well as heart disease, both stable and controlled with meds. Triglycerices lowered with Mevacor. We are leaning toward many of the dietary changes you have been suggesting; moving sensibly and gradually, I think (hope). Still early in disease, so perhaps managing timing is not so critical yet. Concentraing on good nutrition in general. This is the first I have seen this particular connection. Our internist isn't particularly helpful on innovative diet suggestions. Further comments here would be helpful. Thanks Emily Jackson [log in to unmask]
