hahah, this calls for celebration.. my cholesterol level has dipped..
check this out..
my previous (oct '05) readings:
Total Cholesterol: 233 mg/dl
HDL (good) Cholesterol: 63 mg/dl
LDL (bad) Cholesterol: 162 mg/dl
Tchol/hdl Ratio: 3.7
my present (oct '06) readings:
Total Cholesterol: 201 mg/dl (altho this level still borders on high; anything > or = 200 is high)
HDL (good) Cholesterol: 64 mg/dl
LDL (bad) Cholesterol: 128 mg/dl
Tchol/hdl Ratio: 3.1
how to read the stats: the total amt of cholesterol in my body has dropped by 32 mg/dl. altho my good cholesterol has only increased by a mere 1 mg/dl, my bad (read: lousy, disgusting, heart attack-causing) cholesterol level has since plunged by 34 mg/dl, causing the overall gd (vs) bad cholesterol ratio to fall from 3.7 to 3.1. whoppie! praise the Lord! seems like the oolong tea fr china and my efforts to consume a reduced amt of eggs and seafood are paying off..
so the nxt time you see my lipid profile, it shld read something like this..
my predicted (oct '07) readings:
Total Cholesterol: 190 mg/dl
HDL (good) Cholesterol: 70 mg/dl
LDL (bad) Cholesterol: 120 mg/dl
Tchol/hdl Ratio: 2.8
hmm, the celebration seems to call for some succulent seafood with double egg yolk.. :p~~
