Diet

I will eat the tasty mince that normally gets heaped on the spaghetti I just don't go that heavy with the sauce as it's not needed to flavor the spaghetti... Same with a Sheppards pie I love the mince I just forgo the lovely potato... On holiday I will eat everything as I treat these carbs like alcohol and drugs to be enjoyed on a special occasion 👀
I’m just cooking mince beef with Balti Sauce and sun dried peppers, nothing else 🤷‍♂️

Second nights training last night - I had to sit in the car for a good 5 minutes before setting off because my legs were shakey.

Today - apart from a very slight feeling in my shoulders I have zero aches or pains. Same as I was on Wednesday after Tuesday's session.

All my life when I'd started exercising after not doing any for a while, I'd be in agony for 2 or 3 days - especially my legs and stomach.

I put this down to my diet. Muscle recovery is super fast - a few hours instead of days. I probably have what is regarded by doctors (who have virtually no nutritional training) to be high cholestrol (though what they say is high now, was considered optimum back in the 70s and 80s...you know, before the obesity explosion.

Cholestrol is first on the scene when cells are damaged (every cell wall needs cholestrol...every cell in your body) which is the reason it is vilified as wrongly assumed to cause heart problems, because when a person has a heart problem, their cholestrol increases. This is the same as co2 getting the blame for global warming when history over millions of years shows that increases in co2 follow warming periods, not before them.

As those doctors in the know say, it's like blaming firemen for starting fires because they're always at the scene of a fire.

It will also account for how fast my nails grow now - I'm cutting them about 3 times every 2 weeks...have to get my hair cut much sooner.

To me, these are all pointers that I'm getting optimal nutrition - if I was doing my body harm eating this way, it wouldn't be running so well.

I recently had blood tests done to look for inflamation markers? ( to do with my shoulder injuries) anyhu, they noted my cholesterol levels were high and have offered me statins to lower it. No chance .
I'm not keen on taking blood thinners when they have me on anti-inflammatory drugs that can cause stomach ulcers. Sounds like a bad combo to me... also to the doctor when I raised that point.. tbh, I rarely take the anti-inflammatories as they do fuck all for me and alcohol is supposed to thin ya blood so I'm gunna work on upping my intake.. ( big call!!!)

The cancer my dad passed away from was extremely rare 30 years ago, the ward he was in for treatment was men from 40-70 years old all with billary duck cancer or it's posh name is cholangio carcinoma.. Not sure if I spelt it correct.. The common denominator is all had heart episodes where treatment included stents and even if cholesterol wasn't a contributing factor all had been placed on statins for 10 years plus despite many having normal levels... Sad but true 🤔

A month ago, whilst shopping in Tesco, my phone rang and a foreign woman (sounded Indian) said that she was a nurse at my Doctor's Surgery, and they had identified me as being likely to benefit from statins?

Now apart from an annual mot where they check that I'm still breathing and my blood pressure is ok (it always is) the only time I've been to the surgery over the past few years is for the Flu jab, so I'm baffled as to why I'd be offered statins completely out of the blue?

"According to our records, you're 30% likely to die of a heart attack"

"That's good isn't it?"

"No it's not good"

"Well, I don't like the idea of going onto statins, so I'll give it a miss thanks"

I find it strange that if I'd said "Yes", I could have gone onto prescription meds presumably for whatever time I have left?
 
Having altered my diet for a more healthy lifestyle over the last four years my cholesterol and triglycerides levels are considered to be still too high. This problem can be a genetic issue and seemingly is.
Left unchecked it carries the risk of a stroke or heart attack.
After a lengthy conversation with the Gp on Friday Ive given in to the option of Statins.
My course starts today.
 
I’d ask the salesman
to show you the study that proves that high cholesterol cause heart issues (spoiler alert…there isn’t one). Be prepared for ‘everyone knows it does’ type responses. Should be easy for him to prove it then.

Did he fully inform you of the side effects of statins? What am I saying…of course he did…right?

I've had a call like that about a mounth ago, i found it odd with the questions that as far as i could tell was an Indian women, i just shut her down point blank and told her i'm not interested. I think there is more going on here!!:unsure:
