I had brilliant news yesterday, my health issues include high risk of cardiac issues. Structural and high cholesterol, inherited, thanks Mum. My diet was healthy except maybe a bit too much cheese and red meat. Well cheese 4 times and red meat twice a week kind of levels.
I have in the last 2 months eaten cheese 3 times and red meat 4 times, very small amounts but have also stopped eating all deli meats. Lots more pulses and looked at detail on labels. Who knew that almost all pesto is not made with olive oil? I didn’t and only Tesco finest was 100% olive oil. Hummus was the same so have been making my own which I had done before. I rarely drank alcohol but zero had touched my Lips due to meds I’m on. I’m also having porridge every day as it’s the best for high cholesterol. My reading has gone down to 3.9 instead of 4.9, the bad cholesterol at 5 they push for statins.
After 3 weeks of physio I can also now raise my arm without too much pain after my medical emergency 2 months ago where I ended up in hospital.
We are travelling down to Birmingham friends and off to a show and dinner tonight. No lamb for me though it will be veg curry.
