Looks like I have high cholesterol, to much salt and diabetes what can I do to get it in control and better shape ?

I know no more fast food, no popcorn, chips, bread, candy, soda.  All the stuff I like.  Getting old sucks oh well beats being dead before 50.  I know to walk more, drink more water.

    You can lower your cholesterol level bu learning the difference between good and bad fats and what foods contain which. Another thing you can do is to make smoothies using Golden Flaxseed either freshly ground in a small grinder or sprinkled on your breakfast oatmeal. Google both subjects and educate yourself and stop relying on others for the condition of your health. That is advice that every person alive needs to follow. Generally, the medical field is more reactive rather than proactive. It is the individual that needs to be proactive in order to maintain their good health or reverse their unhealthy habits.
