I have been taking taurine for years and my low blood pressure is probably attributed to taking it. I was just reading that Taurine can lower LDL. Now i am dissipointed that I have to stay on a statin. Any suggestions ?

Translation:

1) Lose 5- 10% of your body weight if you’re overweight

2) Increase your physical activity - preferably 30 - 60 min of moderate intensity activity most days of the week.

3) Choose foods low in sodium and high in potassium, magnesium and calcium (fruit, vegetables, nuts, legumes, whole grains and low fat dairy).

4) Reduce alcohol consumption.
