Over all my health was perfect, except on little area, as you will see on the chart below.
Description
Total Cholesterol/HDL ratio Glucose | My Results
5.4 113 | Desirable Results Less then 200 mg/dl
Greater than 40 mg/dl 4.5 or less Less then 140 (Non-fasting) |
So what does it mean for me? I need to exercise more.
Your BMI (Body Mass Index is the percentage of fat that you have. Between 18 and 25 is healthy. For example I am 5ft 7 and weigh 129 lbs. My BMI is 20.2. Sounds as though you're doing great!!!
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't look very bad at all.
ReplyDeleteYour overall cholesterol is good. Your glucose is good, too. That means that you are not overeating. Your HDL, or "good cholesterol" is low, both as a total and as a percentage of total cholesterol.
One thing you can (besides exercise) is to find ways to substitute good sources of cholesterol intake for bad ones. The easiest example is to switch to olive oil instead of vegetable or corn oil. Olive oil is, for the most part, 100% good cholesterol.
I use it in all of my frying, and wherever in baking that it calls for oil. It does have a distinctive taste, though, which is an acquired taste.
I'm sure you'll get plenty of exercise by going around finding curbs to paint. Walking is good for you.
