Today I went over to my wife’s school, where the county public health office was conducting free blood testing for the teachers and their families.
Here’s my results:
Blood pressure: 100/70
Resting Pulse: 66 bpm
Blood Glucose: 85 mg/dl
Total Cholesterol: 236 mg/dl
HDL: 39 mg/dl
LDL: 179 mg/dl
Triglycerides: 92 mg/dl
Total Cholesterol/HDL Ratio: 6.1
Some are good results, some could definitely use some improvement. I think this is a good baseline, given I haven’t been very disciplined with Paleo since September – and I took about a month hiatus from the gym. Some of those readings qualified me for a free referral to my physician to get looked at a little closer, so I can definitely use those results as a measurement after my initial 30-day challenge.
