Dh has high cholesterol

[Peaceful Meadows]

He is only 40. They put him on cholesterol meds this week. I really want to try a complete diet overhaul before going the med route but dh seems to think he needs the meds. He says, "You cook healthy. I think it's how my body breaks it down. I think it's heriditary." He has a point because both of his parents have trouble with cholesterol but he eats lunch at chinese rest. and I could cook a bit healthier. I tend to like to add cheese to stuff plus if I looked I am sure there are other ways I could cut out choleteral.

Oh, well, I can't make him not take the meds and maybe he does need them but I would have liked to have a few months to try a diet change before him going on the med. It's his body and he is way more trusting of doctors and modern medicine than I. There is really not much I can do to make him change his mind.
