I visited the doctor just for a regular checkup, and because I have a few questions. (For example, I seem to have
tonsil liths--they sound disgusting, but I only cough one up every 6 months or so.)
While I was there, she suggested that I get a cholesterol test done. So, I did, and the results are good:
Typecount (mg/dL)
Cholesterol130
Triglyceride64
HDL41
LDL76
Apparently, this is all normal, but I would benefit from increasing my HDL level. The main method is aerobic exercise, so I guess I need to play DDR more often. Also, eating "good" fats (avocado, peanut, olive) should help with that, too. Apparently drinking a glass of alcohol every day should help, too, so maybe Kate and I need to get into the habit of having red wine with dinner.
