Health checks at work
July 7th 2006 -
I had a health check at work today, which was mostly OK except cholesterol. The overall level is OK, but there’s good cholesterol, and there’s bad cholesterol, and I have too much of the latter. Less bad cholesterol needed. At the last health check, my cholesterol level was fine, so I suspect my recent efforts to go off sweet drinks have an unexpected side-effect: I’ve been eating more chocolate and other sweets, which have more saturated fat (coke and V, as bad as they are, don’t have any fat at all), so there we have it.
I’m giving up on that experiment. When I have caffeine-free days, I’ll go without sweet things altogether. And, of course, I’ll try and cut down on takeaway foods and other sources of mondo saturated fat anyway.
