My Cholesterol is simply "OK", or normal

[DaBurglar]

despite my attempts to be as active as possible, at my current age and degree of disability I nonetheless face difficulty and challenge maintaining healthy levels of activity, weight, blood levels of various metrics (like cholesterol, blood sugar, Iron, red blood cell counts  etc)Happily I am able to still say all my metrics are still normal.....I definitely need to shed a good 10-15 lbs but who doesnt these days, and in my case most of that is simply Winter weight that I always put on when it becomes difficult to be outside and active. Ironically my recent hiatus from Video Poker and the casinos of AC since September has NOT been good for my waistline.....taking monthly forays to AC for 5-7 days at a time definitely helped me keep the 10-15 extra pounds I now find myself carrying off;  wheeling around Atlantic City, from casino to casino, and the Boardwalk in particular was great exercise!  I know I mentioned on numerous posts that one of my primary reasons for continuing to visit and play/stay in AC was simply the fact that it is for myself, an extremely accessible and user friendly city......I play a lot of chess now and chess is not exactly a activity known as a "fitness sport", even though some of the best players of all time (like Bobby Fischer, Boris Spassky and several others) frequently had  FITS during some of their most intense matches.......hehe  get it?    FITNESS SPORT......."Fits during matches".......FITS = Fitness????   gigglesnortThis Daburglar Health report, which falls well in the purview of "ANYTHING and EVERYTHING", has been brought to you by the American Medical Dis-Association of Cynical Politically Neutral/Independent Crank Yankers, citizens determined to help all the die hard believers and the deceived masses that inhabit both the  "Right" (Republican) and "Left" (Democrat) spheres of thought(control), to WAKE UP and smell the roses lying atop the Casket of society.Health Care should be Universal, available to ALL and (largely) free......how can it be that in the USA, which ranks in the low to mid 30s in most important categories (i.e. infant mortality, life expectancy, wieght/obesity, heart disease, diabtes just to name a few), yet is FIRST in total COST and money SPENT on Health Care amongst all so-called Developed nations????     No matter what arguments or points you make trying to defend the current dysfunctional, poor quality system  while simultaneously arguing  AGAINST  Universal Low cost/Free Health Coverage (and that Health Care is in fact a Morally Necessary, HUMAN RIght and not some other euphemistic terminology),  it ultimately is futile to argue that maintaining what currently is in place does anything except enrich the already rich people who run things in the first place.....At the VERY VERY LEAST, it should be in this country that ALL Children and Young Adults 18 years of age and younger should be given completely free, comprehensive health care, with an additional provision of coverage until age 21 unless their family or even PERSONAL resources somehow exceed a certain threshold....The New England Journal Of Medicine, the most prestigious and authoritative medical source for current medical  perspective, policy, procedures and thinking......http://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMp0910064

My cholesterol is at the high end of "normal" for genetic reasons, but my blood pressure goes up a good 30 points when i read the forum.

Anyone who knows ANYTHING (this is the ANYTHING and EVERYTHING FORUM) about chess would KNOW that Bobby Fischer was a physical fitness FANATIC who actually had several workouts developed for him.

I suspect that his cholesterol and blood pressure, body weight and blood sugars, PSA and sodium, numbers were all pretty good too.

We all know the cure for that.
Or you could institute a up or down vote system in Anything and Everything Section. Folks could vote on whether or not it should stay or after so many down votes would be deleted. Doesn't that sound like fun? The poster could have his/her say and a moment of fame, then we could move on.

As they once told OJ. The bad news is your blood is everywhere. At the crime scene, in the Bronco, on Nicole and Ron. However your cholesterol is good.

Is OJ still in a Vegas jail? Can't believe he got busted for trying to get his football memorabilia back in an armed robbery. Where was it? At Palace Station I believe.
