Blood Work

[dna9488]

Sounds good - just know that LOTS of factors go into those results - the best gauge of your health is to continue checking those things over time - I doubt the red meat you're eating is the only thing affecting it - try laying off the hooka if you're seriously concerned as that will have a bigger impact on your health than what you're worrying with...

What were your natural Test levels at btw????

ya man, i am laying off all drugs. the only things i got tested were:

CBC with Differential/Platelet, Thyroid Panel, Thyroxine, Lipid Panel, Glucose Plasma, and EBC Acute Infection Antibodies.

to check out my cholesterol, because it high cholesterol runs in my family. Also, i have been feeling really tired, and i constantly sleep. SO i got a blood test to see if i am sick or something. Everything is normal, just HDL and LDL are bugging me a bit.

But why in the world are you having bloodwork done in the first place????

EVOO will do the trick

EVOO is already in my diet

Good post bro, be great to see how you get on over the next few months, I presume your gonna go back in like 3 months or so for more blood work

Thank you, i will be going back in 6 months to see where i am at.

Cardio assists in boosting your high density lipids (HDL). Exercise in general does this.

Cardio has always been my workout.

My workout has been the same. Its just i added in 9oz of beef in my postworkout meal for a month and a half straight. Also, taking random trips to steakhouses and eating steak.

i didnt think cardio had any effect on cholesterol, its 100% diet

i think that is pushing it a bit. show me where Omega 6 fats can reverse the rolls of good/bad cholesterol.

Got the results of my blood work a few days ago. Everything thankfully is in check.

Cholesterol is normal, BUT my HDL (good cholesterol) is low, and LDL (bad cholesterol) is high.

I told my doctor my diet, and the massive red meat intake i used to have. 4-5 burgers a week, and beef post workout everyday i lifted.

My question is, how can i reverse my HDL and LDL levels???

If you have good health insurance.. see if you can get your doc to prescribe you some Niaspan.. Its prescription time released Niacan.. Good shit,, great for your lipids and of course its not a statin which is awesome imo..

good fats as well as all these things have already been pointed out above.. They also make a script Healthy Fat pill too..

For me, since my lipids have always been a mess even when off juice for over 2 years getting scripts are much cheaper than buying what I need from supplement companys.. and you at least should be getting what it is supposed to be also

interesting. I did talk to my doc about medication. He said i won't prescribe any because its your diet. Aside from the 1 lb burger every week. I was eating more red meat everyday.

Going back in 6 months to see if anything changed. If not than i will jump on meds i guess.

I do all those except niacin

1lb of burger once a week is not really high at all.

sounds like your issue is genetic.

About a month and a half ago, i shot up my fish oil intake to 6g a day. Oatmeal has always been there and now i added Flax seed.

I have come to the conclusion that my burger intake was too damn high. I wasn't afraid to eat a 1lb burger once a week. Lesson learned, thank you all.

Also, high blood pressure and high cholesterol run in my family. Thankfully, none has got me so far.
