Can I Lower My Cholesterol Through Diet Alone?

 And #TuesdayTwirl

Is This Mutton is attempting to lower cholesterol through diet alone with no statins

Dear friends. I've had a rude awakening. I need to radically change my diet after a routine NHS over 60s health check revealed high cholesterol. It was high both overall and for the "bad" sort, the LDL reading.

I like to keep out of the clutches of the NHS. I'm not on any prescription medications and consider myself fit and healthy.

Latest Book Reviews for April

 #WOYBS

#WHATSONYOURBOOKSHELF


A magical memoir/nature book set on Orkney is the highlight of Is This Mutton's April reading in 2026

Dear friends. A more contemplative selection of books this month, with two outstanding memoirs and a couple of books set in the past. 

I'm starting first with my 5 star read, the non-fiction The Apothecary by the Sea by Victoria Bennett. An inspiring and spellbinding read. Thanks as always to NetGalley and the various publishers of the books reviewed below for the advance digital copies.

Spring Style

 And #TuesdayTwirl 


Dear friends.  I hope you had a joyful Easter, if it's something you celebrate. It was just the hubs and me on Easter Sunday, as both children and their kids had gone away. We had a lovely lunch at a local restaurant which was very busy and full of Spring delight.

I was inspired by Spring primroses to wear lime and yellow. It was undecided, weather wise: sunny intervals but quite windy and a few occasional showers.
