When you are above forties you are required to have series of blood tests to check if you have no UTI, kidney infection at the same time checking out if cholesterol levels are borderline and or above range. I just had these tests yesterday: cholesterol; triglycerides; blood uric acid; blood urea nitrogen; creatinine; HDL cholesterol and LDL cholesterol. All were within normal. I am sure my physician would be pleased to know. I may not know the exact implication to this but all I can grasp is all the results are within the range.
As I look at the results I was thinking of the food that I took for the past weeks. I eat small rice, few meat and poultry, coffee and biscuits in the morning, took some Anlene, Ensure and Green Barley, I also drink some hot chocolates with mild. I ate plenty of red, seedless sweet pomelo, grapes, apples, mango and banana. I only eat rice, vegetables or fish during lunchtime. I walked for 20 to 30 minutes during the last four mornings prior to the tests.
Let me share some comparison:
Sept. 1, 2011 May 7, 2012
Results Reference Range Results Reference Range
Total Cholesterol 231.20 150 - 200 145.10 0.000 - 220.4
Triglycerides 137.30 10 - 150 84.99 0.000- 151.9
HDL Cholesterol 53.00 45 - 77 44.58 0.000 - 65.02
These things I did made me feel good and light. I may be losing weight but not as much as the ideal one. But nevertheless these things I did made me feel better, not grasping for breath to the third floor by the stairway (as if there is another choice like elevator or escalator).
I am healthier today.
