Nonpharmacologic therapy is the cornerstone of treatment education, exercise, weight loss, and cognitive behavioral intervention are integral components. 

Initial therapy Ascertain that lipid levels are consistently abnormal before instituting fenofibrate therapy. Make every attempt to control serum lipids with appropriate diet, exercise, weight loss in obese patients, and control of any medical problems (eg, diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism) that are contributing to the lipid abnormalities. If possible, discontinue or change medications known to exacerbate... 

The treatment can involve a variety of changes in behavior, including exercise, weight control, and diet, but increasingly medications are used to relieve the symptoms. Prescription drugs for the condition include Ditropan,... 

Drugs used to increase HDL levels (fibrates, nicotinic acid, and statins) in otherwise normal people do not have the same effect in patients with Tangier disease. Therefore, it is necessary to identify and treat other risk factors associated with CAD. Exercise, weight reduction, dietary cholesterol and saturated fat reduction, and smoking cessation are the first line in management of low HDL cholesterol. Dietary management with low fat intake is beneficial in reducing the risk for CAD, as well... 

In conclusion, we have found that the presently set Recommended Dietary Allowances for riboflavin for women are inadequate even when they are not exercising, and that their riboflavin requirements are Increased by exercise. Weight reduction per se does not have an effect on riboflavin requirements. However, women who are exercising and on a weight reduction diet may get an inadequate amount of the vitamin because of their restricted food intake. We have no evidence, at least in the U.S., that athletes are at risk for clinical riboflavin deficiency. We do not think that it is necessary for those engaged in exercise to take megadoses of this B vitamin or of other B vitamins. 

Aerobic exercise (walking, bicycling, etc.) appears to be more effective at lowering blood pressure than resistance exercise (weight lifting). 

Familial hypoalphalipoproteinaemia may respond to exercise, weight loss, and nicotinic acid a fibrate and/or a statin may be added for a small HDL-raising effect but primarily to lower triglycerides and LDL. 

Supplements arc only part of the picture. They are not substitutes for a healthy diet, stress reduction, exercise, weight control, and (when needed) prescription drug therapy. 

Postmenopausal hormone therapy is a subject of major interest in the field of women s health. Treatment of menopausal symptoms can be managed effectively in some women with lifestyle modifications, including exercise, weight control, smoking cessation, and a healthful diet. More recently, however, dietary supplements and nonpharma-cologic therapies have been promoted as complementary medicine alternatives to hormone therapy. To date, there is little to support the use of such nonprescription products, which include various herbal remedies and soy-based supplements.
