Hi!
I did some blood tests a couple of months ago, and I wrote a post. The results were:
Total cholesterol: 5,7 mmol/l (220 mg/dl)
LDL cholesterol: 4,4 mmol/l (167 mg/dl)
HDL cholesterol: 1,1 mmol/l (42 mg/dl)
Triglycerides: 1,2 mmol/l (105 mg/dl)
Since then, I've practiced an extremely healthy lifestyle. I've lost 6 kg, I'm never eating animal fat, just chicken and fat fish, no added sugar, lots of vegetables, no white bread, more oats, no trans fat, etc. My new results:
Total cholesterol: 4,3 mmol/l (165 mg/dl)
LDL cholesterol: 3,4 mmol/l (130 mg/dl)
HDL cholesterol: 0,9 mmol/l (35 mg/dl)
Triglycerides almost zero.
Honestly I don't think I'm able to practice a better lifestyle. I'm eating extremely healthy, doing exercise 3-4 times a week, I never smoke, I'm drinking 2-3 glasses of white wine pr week, I can't find a single mistake I'm doing.
Will those values improve after some more time do you think? Which values are better?
By the way my BP is 100/60, BMI 22,8 and resting heart rate 50.
Thanks :)
Having spoken before, I can't say I know of anything you're doing wrong either. I think I would retest in 30 days for grins and see which set seem to be the norm.
Always great to hear from you!
