went to BP diagnostic centre n it cost me rm230..(rm220 is for the basic blood test)...actually i dint need to do the full 1 as JPA only require the Hepatitis blood test...
but my dad said since i've nvr done a full 1, so might as well do 1....they still have to poke 1 needle thru my skin...=)
after 2 days, i went to take the results...all were normal...EXCEPT...
i have high blood cholesterol!!! argh....my total cholesterol is 6.5!!! which is high!!!!
n my LDL..the "bad" cholesterol...*sigh*..4.2!!! n the optimum is 2.6 u kno....wat the....
wana cry adi la....
gosh...i wish this is not true ler...but i still hav to make myself believe this...
my dad has stroke..so i shouldn't be surprised by this result...
Heredity: Your genes influence how high your LDL (bad) cholesterol is by affecting how fast LDL is made and removed from the blood. One specific form of inherited high cholesterol that affects 1 in 500 people is called familial hypercholesterolemia, which often leads to early heart disease. But even if you do not have a specific genetic form of high cholesterol, genes play a role in influencing your LDL cholesterol level.
bad news: i have to start cutting down on certain food...

hahahaha..shirlyn... your main goal will be to cut down your saturated fat... like chicken skin n fatty parts of other meats.
use skim milk...less processed food.
dietary cholesterol actually have less effects to your blood cholesterol...
n more omega 3!! makan lebih fatty fish like ikan salmon..
n more soluble fiber... oats n fruits n wholegrain cereal n bread are your friends.
hahahahahaha.... i've finally found a client to practice my counselling skills di.
anyways... when everything else doesnt work.... u still have pharmacy to go to... oh wait...u'll be a pharmacist!
