My Dad avoids white foods - rice, bread, sugar, potatoes, pasta. Not sure about that advice.

5-10 servings of vegetables per day. If you hate veggies like me, drink a V8 every day. Drink fruit smoothies, not pop.

Eat nuts, not chips. Oat bran. Fatty fish twice per week. Lean meat.

Do a cardio work out at least 3 times per week.

I'm trying to watch my cholesterol:

And the good news - 1-2 ounces of alcohol per day is good for my heart (especially red wine). You can't bank it though and drink it all in one night each week.
