...panel urged immediate and "intensive" treatment of those at risk, beginning with a lowfat, low-cholesterol diet. Such a regimen usually emphasizes fruits and vegetables, substitutes chicken, fish and lean meats for fatty ones, and encourages the use of polyunsaturated oil for cooking. For patients who fail to respond to diet, cholesterol-lowering drugs are advised. Further cautions: Do not smoke, exercise regularly and control your weight...
