One of the best things you can do is take an Omega3 fish oil supplement. My brother and i (50&51 yrs respectively) have been taking it, and we both got off the Lipitor, (had enough of joint pain, leg swelling,fatigue) Cholesterol and triglyceride lower.

We really need to take lots of Vitamin C to prevent heart disease. Vitamin C is essential in production of collagen in our body. Collagen is a protein that give strength to our blood vessel. When our body don't produce enough collagen the blood vessel particularly the arteries become weak as the elasticity of arteries decreases. Also, the ability of our body to regenerate will decreased. Constant pressure because of the flow of blood pumping by the heart sooner the arteries will started to rapture. To prevent a slow death from internal bleeding our body reacting by producing large amount of cholesterol to patch those damage arteries. Once the broken tissue of the arteries healed, our body will regulate its cholesterol production. But the problem is when the regeneration time of our arteries is longer because of lack of collagen in our body the liver will keep producing cholesterol to patch the broken arteries and as long as the arteries have raptured the liver will keep on producing large amount of cholesterol and eventually build up in the arteries until the plaque was formed and the bigger problem will arise. Contrary to our belief, large amount of cholesterol was produced by our own liver because our body needs to, and not just from the food we eat. In the first place, the so called bad cholesterol was there to help us. It's not the cholesterol our problem, it why our liver producing large amount of cholesterol. Heart disease can also be reversed, meaning you can still get rid of the cholesterol deposit in the arteries. I have a brief explanation about this here http://www.squidoo.com/cure_heart_disease
