Is it true,consumption of alcohol is cause of increasing HDL cholesterol? if yes how much daily after CABG?


my bypass done before 7 week? whether it will be benificial to me to consume liquer daily one or two smoll peg to increase my HDL colesterol?

To put this real simple for you, you need to not drink alcohol at all after a bypass surgury simply for the fact that your body needs to heal and cannot do so if it has alcohol in it. You need to feel blessed to be alive and not worry about drinking. As far as alcohol increasing HDL, I have never heard of that. HDL is your good cholesterol and you want it to be higher than 45. Smoking cigs lowers it, as does drinking and having a sedentary lifestyle. Exercise, ( according to your doctors restrictions), eat oatmeal, dont smoke, dont drink, and your HDL will increase.

Consumption of alcohol may not give any benefit. Try to reduce salt, fat and oils in your diet.
Eat a low-cholesterol, low-fat diet. This kind of diet includes cottage cheese, fat-free milk, fish (not canned in oil), vegetables, poultry, egg whites, and polyunsaturated oils and margarines (corn, safflower, canola, and soybean oils). Avoid foods with excess fat in them such as meat (especially liver and fatty meat), egg yolks, whole milk, cream, butter, shortening, lard, pastries, cakes, cookies, gravy, peanut butter, chocolate, olives, potato chips, coconut, cheese (other than cottage cheese), coconut oil, palm oil, and fried foods.
A healthy diet and lifestyle can reduce your risk of:
* Heart disease, heart attacks, and stroke
* Conditions that lead to heart disease, including high cholesterol, high blood pressure, and obesity
* Other chronic health problems, including type 2 diabetes, osteoporosis, and some forms of cancer.
Consult the best cardiologist in your city at regular interval. The symptoms such as foot swelling and cardiac asthma, if any, will fade away shortly.
Please see the web page for more details on Heart disease and diet.

It seems that you are addicted for alcohol. Consumption of alcohol in moderate quantity is not that bad. The items we eat along with the alcohol is very bad for CAD. Do not drink with soda. Take it with water or neat with ice cubes. It would be better if you refrain from it. If at all not posible to stop all of sudden, reduce gradually and then stop. You are too young andalready had one bypass. You should take care of your health at least now.

Yes. Actually in stomach after meals, an ounce of alcohol is produced which causes drowsiness and sleep. That's why a short nap after meals n the day is recommended.

Drinking too much alcohol can raise the levels of some fats in the blood (triglycerides) (tri-GLIS'er-idz). It can also lead to high blood pressure, heart failure and an increased calorie intake. (Consuming too many calories can lead to obesity and a higher risk of developing diabetes.) Excessive drinking and binge drinking can lead to stroke. Other serious problems include cardiomyopathy (kar"de-o-mi-OP'ah-the), cardiac arrhythmia (ah-RITH'me-ah) and sudden cardiac death.

If you drink alcohol, do so in moderation. This means an average of one to two drinks per day for men and one drink per day for women. (A drink is one 12 oz. beer, 4 oz. of wine, 1.5 oz. of 80-proof spirits, or 1 oz. of 100-proof spirits.)
