A high fiber diet works. Flax seed, oatmeal, oat bran, whole grain just about anything, but it does have to be whole grain. Fish oil, actual fish, like salmon. Exercise, low fat and low cholesterol foods. Fruits and veggies. Leave off red meats, sea food, and fried foods. Eat eggs in moderation. Eat only olive oil for oils, and use extra virgin. Garlic, lecithin. All of that can work to keep you off meds, but if it isn't enough, go get meds.
