E33 - Cholesterol blood test results

In this episode I share more of my blood test results, specifically Cholesterol readings. Cholesterol is defined as blood fat found in the liver and every cell in our body, essentially maintaining our brain, nerves and skin, whilst playing a major part in the production of vitamin D and hormones controlling our skeletal frame, teeth and muscles. When we get our Cholesterol blood test results, it's split into categories, the main splits being HDL high density lipoproteins (the good stuff) and LDL low density lipoproteins (the bad stuff). Our lifestyles contribute to either good or bad cholesterol, ranging from diet, exercise, sleep, alcohol and smoking. To avoid fatty deposits building up in our arteries and subsequently risking heart attack or stroke, it's advisable to get your cholesterol checked with your GP or privately with a registered health care professional. In the meantime, you can listen here to find out my own personal results and what I do to maintain a healthy score, aged 53 years young.
