I love my govt. For folks my age, we get free screening for blood and colon cancer.
So I happily walked into my fav CHAS clinic, gave them some of my blood and my shit, and waited for a week for results.
So how's the result?
Well, blood tests showed I am not diabetic, so yeah!
But it showed my LDL is slightly elevated, but not enough to warrant any treatment or medication. Though I will want to measure it again in 3 months' time to check on its trajectory.
I have recently increased my cardio workouts, mainly going for 3km jogs almost daily. I think it will help in LDL control and also help cut down the visceral fat that is around my tummy. Doc said I need to reach heart rate of 145bpm for my age range in order to start burning those fats. My jogs I hit 140 or so, so it's good. I can run a little faster in coming months as I get used to the tempo.
Shit test? that's clear as well, Heng ah!
