I'm curious about whether soy milk really helps in lowering LDL cholesterol and if it's good for the heart. How much soy milk would be safe for someone with heart issues to drink?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Soy milk is indeed beneficial for heart health as it contains plant-based proteins and is low in saturated fats. The presence of soy protein in soy milk has been shown to help reduce LDL cholesterol levels. For heart health benefits, it is recommended for a heart patient to consume around 25 grams of soy protein per day. This is roughly equivalent to 2-3 cups of soy milk daily. Regular consumption of soy milk as part of a balanced diet can contribute to a healthy heart.

View allI'm experiencing something that's got me really concerned. Whenever I stand up, I suddenly feel dizzy, everything seems to go black for a moment, and I start sweating. I can't keep my balance and need to hold onto something to avoid falling over. This isn't just a one-time thing; it happens a lot. I've even fainted a couple of times because of it. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?

I'm really worried because my cholesterol is high, like 252, and today I've been experiencing this pain in my left arm, shoulder joint, and even in my hands. Could this mean I'm having a heart attack?
Having high cholesterol levels can increase your risk of heart attack, especially when experiencing symptoms like pain in the left arm, shoulder joint, and hands. This could be a sign of a heart-related issue. It is important to seek medical attention immediately. In the meantime, you can take Aspirin 81mg to help reduce the risk of blood clot formation.

I'm having some discomfort in my chest when I masturbate, especially in the middle and left side. It doesn't hurt a lot, just a little, but it's noticeable. At first, I thought it might be because I was overweight, so I lost some weight and now I'm down to 67 kg, but the pain is still there. I even tried stopping for a month, thinking it was because I was doing it too often, like 3-4 times a week, but the pain came back when I started again. I'm a bit embarrassed to talk to my friends or family about this, but is there something else that could be causing it?
