Maybe next time I'll get my cholesterol below 140. I think I can do it now that I understand the role that "peace of mind" plays in lowering cholesterol.
I remember reading about some of the Chinese having total cholesterol as low as about 85? They were among the healthiest but I always wondered how they did it. Now I suspect it must have something to do with living in remote areas of China. I believe they are essentially cut off from noise pollution and news contamination. They live a quieter more peaceful existence.
An ancient Chinese curse goes like this: "May you live in interesting
times."

My cholesterol was better than most. 127 Dr. gave me results of labs today. Sugar was good. Thyroid was a little off and I will see Dr. Hamilton Fish about reducing the amount of Methimazole...again. Getting the meds right is tricky when your Thyroid over functions.
I think good cholesterol figures means I have a lucky break genetically. I am so glad that there are statins that can drop high cholesterol for people whose diet doesn't change the high numbers.... because one thing I know for danged sure, it doesn't have any thing to do with noise pollution.
I don't take statins. My numbers are just my genetic good luck. I don't drink alcohol either and I eat a lot of fruits and vegetables, drink a lot of juices (LOVE V8) and don't eat a lot of meat, fish, poultry or fat.
