I am going to make that tomato soup. with the heavy cream. (thank god I have good cholesterol )
Lol you just reminded me I forgot my cholesterol meds today, they started me on them last week and I've forgotten to take it about half the time.
edit: rectified.
....if you have not, then check out eating Walnuts , 3-4 a day to control Cholesterol.
Also, weirdly enough, Quercetin..... beneficial for multiple other things too
I've been borderline for years and have kept it under control with exercise and my diet has always been steak, potato and salad based which I guess is no longer what is considered a death sentence. But with the covid shit quarantine I have slacked on exercise and gone up from 30 to 34 waist in the last year (actually I am having to squeeze in 34 now so its either get this shit under control or goto 36. I'm pretty tired most of the time now and guess i'm just at the age that time has caught up with me. I pulled the bicycle out the other day and only made it half the distance I was doing pre covid so i'm not pleased with that result but I'm going to keep up and do my best this summer to get the spare tire under control but if I can't by fall then its gonna be fuck it. They have me on tons of pills for other shit for the last 22 years and I've watched my mental capacities decline markedly as well as the physical. So I'm basically figuring this is my last push to stay healthy if I fail i'll just call it a day and eak out my last few decades eating whatever the fuck I want and let the chips fall where they may.
To be fair.... my post pretty much did say "eat deez nutz"
But, I hear yah...
Tell you my story, I am a decent weight, decent history of exercise/sport my whole life, decent diet (usually)....with some periods of my life with a true IDGAF, and in those times, which are in the minority, and largely connected to .....mental health issues (following some crazy crazy fubar shit, which I will not get into) and ...a hectic lifestyle ....and....
I get a blood test and they are like "brooooooooooooo, you have the highest cholesterol I have ever seen" .....turns out, you can spike your cholesterol by NOT eating regularly... (forces body into keto) which I gotta admit that I went through periods where... I just didn't care to eat regularly...and I love food lol.
Anyways, that was a shock for me, and for my doctors, and for well everyone... to look at you would never guess.
Anyways... quercetin, return to a good and regular eating, a bunch of nuts, and 3 years of testing, and its normalising for me now, with improvements every 6 months.
Eat my nutz , I mean.... walnuts.
ps, for anyone that is interested Quercetin is also an ACE-2 inhibitor
amongst many other things.
Look after yourself bro, keep on keeping on
