From 08/02/13 "inspection" at the docs office:
Height 6'1"
Weight 205
Heart rate at rest - 58
BP - 116/72
Cholesterol - 140
Triglyceride - 101
HDL - 50
LDL - 70
VLDL - 20
Sodium - 141
Potassium - 4.1
Glucose - 92
Calcium - 9.3
etc., etc., etc.
Every number from every test was within accepted range.
I jog 3 times a week, 2 miles each time.
I take a mild dosage of cholesterol and blood pressure meds once a day as those had tested high initially about 10 years ago. By watching some of what I choose to eat - along with the medications - the numbers have improved to their current levels.
My diet is horrible by textbook standards. I'd describe it as mirroring "Selective Eating Disorder" without the social stigma part - people we know well joke with me about my eating habits all the time
:
Selective eating disorder - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I have real issues with the consistency of many foods and thus won't eat them. Not much of a person to want to try new foods so what I eat is pretty much what I've eaten my entire life.
There are many, many foods I've never eaten and can guarantee you I'll never eat - salads (never had one in my life), most fruits and vegetables, and so on. I love junk food, crave sweets, and pretty much eat what I like. Give me a cheeseburger or a pizza and I'm a happy guy. But I eat lots of things like chicken, too. It's just the way I am - no apologies for it.
I feel fine, never missed work or school back in the day - - - and I enjoy life and what I eat.
Until something changes with how I feel or with the feedback the doctor gives me, I plan to continue along the same path. I really don't see any reason not to.
And at the end of the day, I
could step off the curb this afternoon and get whacked by a bus or something. I want to be happy with my daily life.....just in case something drastic like the bus thing should ever transpire. Radically changing something like my diet would put a big damper on the "happy life" thing for me.
Not putting this up for debate - just offering the info as requested. Thanks!
