The 4 chambers

I spend a lot of time sitting on my computer and eating hella junk food. I went to the doctor for a check up and got my cholesterol tested. It was really high! I was surprised because I am a slim dude with a high metabolism.

Turns out age and fitness (although exercising helps drop levels) don't have anything to do with cholesterol levels. I'm trying to fix this issue by eating better. I would recommend you all get tested. If you guys live in Australia, my doctor told me about this site (http://www.testthenation.com.au/) which has info about free tests available.

Anyone got any other cholesterol stories they want to share?

I will not get mine check. It would be way out of wack. I have started walking at least 2.4 miles a day (path around a local lake) and every other day double it.

Good thread. Personally, my cholesterol levels are good...plus, much as I enjoy food, I eat right with 1 hour gym three times weekly. Moderation with food and exercise, even if just a half hour walk daily works well...particularly for those in seated position type jobs.

Probably best to have a check anyway, man. Even if the figures will be a little odd - better to know than be taken by surprise.
