ADVICE

Aged Garlic For Soft Plaque Reduction

  • Consider aged garlic extract (2.4 g/day) as adjunct: trials showed small but meaningful reductions in low-attenuation (soft) plaque.
  • Use supplements as part of a broader lifestyle program, not a substitute for diet/exercise.
INSIGHT

Omega‑3s Provide Measurable Cardio Benefit

  • Omega-3s from fish lower cardiovascular events; meta-analyses show benefits and prescription EPA formulations demonstrated large effect at high dose.
  • Fish intake correlates with reduced CV mortality, especially in people with high triglycerides.
ADVICE

Eggs Associate With Less Plaque

  • Eating eggs (1–3/wk) correlated with lower carotid plaque and higher HDL particle generation in cohort data.
  • Prefer whole minimally processed foods over grain-heavy breakfasts to avoid postprandial glucose surges.
