BAN CHOCOLATES! NO TO BAD CHOLESTEROL!

I am facing doom. I got my medical exam result yesterday and it said that I have a high level of blood sugar and cholesterol which appeared with my blood sample. I’m on the borederline of being a diabetic and being unhappy because I’d be having less endorphins and phenylethylamine in my internal mechanism! Boo!

And how do I get rid of bad cholesterol? 75 percent of it is produced by the body, right? You can’t blame me if high blood cholesterol runs in my family. That means, I can only control the remaining 25 percent which the food I eat produces. How? I scanned through online articles about cholesterol treatment options and I got this:

*Eat a healthy diet

Ok, I admit, I love eating but I am not in a habit of checking whether it’s healthy or not, making a calorie count or whatever - I’m not at all that meticulous when it comes to food. Geek.

*Enjoy a regular physical activity

I used to jog thrice a week (that’s why I had washboard abs when I was in high school and through early years in college.haha), go cycling, swimming or strutting my stuff during our dance troupe practice then. Now the only activities I get to do is to hang out, laugh (to contract abdominal muscles), walk to bars near our condo instead of hailing a cab and play badminton ONLY when I feel like it. No fixed schedule for any sport or cardio exercises. Maybe now is the time to make one.

*Avoid Cigarette Smoke

And you’re asking what cigar smoke has to do with cholesterol?

Read this:

“Tobacco smoke is one of the six major controllable risk factors for heart disease (along with high cholesterol, high blood pressure, diabetes, being overweight and physical inactivity). If you smoke and have high cholesterol, that’s two major controllable risk factors you need to work on. Exposure to other people’s smoke increases the risk of heart disease even for nonsmokers. Smoking also decreases your tolerance for physical activity, making it harder to get the activity you need to help you reach healthy cholesterol levels.” source: American Heart

You see, I don’t smoke.BUT a lot of people around me love to puff. Yeah, I try to stay away from them or I oftentimes tell them to get out of the house whenever they do. Those who really care, like my ex-boyfriend and not-so-addict friends…they don’t smoke near me or when they’re with me. Right now, I don’t know if I cared about myself less when I allowed myself to get used to smokers. Argh.

Time to rearrange my lifestyle and do my best to quit the bad habit. Oh, have I told you that the results told me that I have microcytic anemia. I know the causes and treatment and yet, pasaway pa rin ako! I really shouldn’t be in graveyard shift anymore. And get this, I should drink more beer! *clink*

“Consumption of any amount of alcohol was associated with a 40% reduction in the risk of iron deficiency anemia.” - PubMed

Haha! Who would’ve thought that there’s good news after all? Ain’t life grand, eh?
 

What do you think is the most valuable trait that you have? Aside from all the qualities most people you know already know about you, have you recently discovered something in you that sometimes make people wonder why you keep so many close friends around you?

I have never considered this before, but I think I am on way to get a masters degree in Intensive Listening. I am aware of how much it helps a lot of people and how good it feels to know that someone actually gives a damn about your life. When I lend them an ear, I give them a fraction of my time or all of it. When I look into their lives, I take part in their story. I become a catalytic agent to the dormant feelings waiting to be reawakened, especially the hurt that has to be set free…even if they didn’t know that it’s what’s hurting them until you let them express it.

Trust is something you hardly give away so easily and yet they willingly hand it to me - even the least trusting ones. Decency aside, I do think I deserve it for what I am to them is the truest form of me. They only hear what they need to hear and I say what I really think of them not just because they are my friends, but because I want them to know that nothing has to come out fake with me. You very well know that you can’t get any satisfaction in faking it - in whatever context it may be used.

Whew. Now, I feel better. This is how you make yourself feel good, think at least one of your strong points that makes you an indispensable asset on earth. Tomorrow, I’ll think of another one until I’m out of it and then I’d have to end my life after I’d lost it all. Haha.
