I had a blood test at a festival, have always had perfect results in the past but it come up with. 

I am under some stress right now, and also did not sleep for 30hrs prior to the test.

 

BP: 140/95 Pulse:91 HDL:43 LDL:84 

 

Those are the figures above my gf who is a nurse said were not so good

 

Fasting Glucose: 100 , Triglycerides:81 Im translating here.. it says Cholesterol:143 as well but that is not the total of the HDL and LDL

 

Height:173 Weight:70kg Waist:82cm Age: 37

 

I have been reading about Cholesterol and the combined number is ok but I should try to boost the HDL

 

Two years ago my blood work was 100% perfect all bang in the middle for all recommended ranges. I never lived healthy at that time but there were a few differences, 

These days I eat almost exclusively junk, mcdonalds, KFC, dunkin doughnuts. In AU I used to drink about 1L of red wine weekly, would also often make myself spaghetti bolognese/ Ravioli with tons of tomato paste, Ate real italian pizza often in AU, had sex every night almost and most of the night plus once a week rode exercise bike, plus did weights once a week at least. 

 

Have been working and drinking hard this last 2yrs.

 

Now I have started in the last 2 weeks, C60 1mg per day and the following  Omega3 180 EPA/120 DHA x 2, D3 2400 IU, HA 200mg, Vitamin C 2g.

I will start to cook pasta for meals 2-3 times a week with a lot of tomato paste, maybe I should boost the fish oil? I will get back on the red wine, it is expensive in Korea.

These days this last 2 years it has been mcmorning egg and sausage meal almost every single day, maybe the cholesterol is all down to this single egg per day. I will cut that out.

But BP, I prob need to lower that, what could I use?

Will get some resveratrol and work up to 400mg per day as well.

Are you kidding us?

 

Seriously, your tests are surprisingly good given the way you describe your current lifestyle. They won't stay that way for long, though, if you don't soon get back to your former healthier habits. Why do you even bother to ask here? You seem to know exactly where you have gone off-track.

 

Your blood lipids are still surprisingly good - I consider a LDL below 100 and a LDL/HDL ratio below 2 to be optimal. Your fasting glucose is borderline high, though - time to cut out all that junk food. Spagetti with tomato sauce is certainly a better option than a Bic Mac but there is more to a healthy diet. If tomato sauce is the only kind of "vegetable" you eat, you should seriously improve your diet. Full stop!

 

I wouldn't give too much weight to a single blood pressure reading, particularly if you were stressed and sleep deprived. The best thing you can do is to get a cheap $20 blood pressure monitor and see for yourself how sufficient sleep, exercise, relaxation and eating a healthy diet can positively affect your blood pressure. This way you get some instant feedback on how your lifestyle impacts your health.

 

Don't try to compensate for an unhealthy lifestyle with supplements. It won't work. However, anthocyanin-rich foods (e.g. hibiscus tea, red wine, berries, red cabbage) and mineral supplements (magnesium, potassium) may help your blood pressure when stress reduction is hard to achieve. A decent multivitamin, vitamin D and some fish oil is a sensible addition to anyone's diet.

Hey
Your BP and fasting glucose aren't good for someone your age. I would take some magnesium / potassium. Drinking causes mineral deficiencies from excess urination which can elevate blood pressure. LEF sells olive leaf extract for elevated BP, but I've never tried it.
I would consider Metformin, or green coffee bean extract to lower blood sugar, chromium gtf as well.
Re : drinking, and liver health. I sometimes drink a lot of wine, especially when I'm traveling
I would take the following, I do.
Milk thistle
Phosphatidyl Choline
SAMe.
Tocotrionols
Those things have kept my liver enzymes in a healthy range.

My Former habits were not much healthier.

 

The tomato paste I have seen lowers BP, it could only have been helping previously.

 

I eat Kimchi and side dishes here every few days along with a main of donkas pretty much a pork schnitzel and also eat other Korean things through the week.

 

Junk free would be best and I will aim for this.

 

I gotta get into buying some kind of meat and fish every week and making sure that a meal per day has a lot of veggies.

 

My Fasting Glucose, is it only a true result when you have actually fasted prior to the test? My BP I want to get it down so will try a few things like the olive leaf extract thanks

 

Milk thistle is great, I really need some, I have no liver pain now but 2 years ago after a long period of drinking I had pains, the milk thistle  got rid of it within days at large doses

Hi Adamzski,

 

Noted your exercise bike (albeit previous), and just saw on local news a cyclist who was saved by a passerby who had just bought a defibrillator 2 days ago on ebay. Lucky for him, anyway this guy cycles long distance every week and still had a heart attack because of high cholesterol hence exercise isn’t the answer for al ailments.

 

I used to have high cholesterol and whilst at the dr surgery once, read an article about it while waiting stating cholesterol being from animal fats (including our own). Did a bit of research and decided to try the vegan path for a while, resulting drastic results as my cholesterol dropped 40% in 4 months and went into in a healthy range.

 

Whilst it probably doesn’t work for everyone and you still do need a small amount it’s probably a hard ask for most people to change there foods so drastically
