This. This is what I’m talking about. My good friend Elaine shows what Paleo and eating good foods has done for her blood chemistry and her health. I’m so happy for her and her husband, and proud of them both for sticking with it and ensuring that they will be around for a long time for us to take more trips together in the future!
I recently had my annual exam and I asked my doctor to re-do my blood work because I was curious to see if and how my numbers had been affected by the change in diet. This page and this page helped me understand my numbers a bit better. Here they are:
Cholesterol / HDL Ratio (reference range 3.90 – 5.80)
Oct 2016: 3.28
Oct 2015: 5.08
I was within range but on the higher end. It’s nice to see the number drop to the low end of this range.
Cholesterol LVL (reference range <=199 mg/dL)
Oct 2016: 151 mg/dL
Oct 2015: 183 mg/dL
My total cholesterol has always been in an optimal range but it’s nice to see it drop further.
LDL (optimal range <=99 mg/dL) (“bad” cholesterol)
Oct 2016: 84 mg/dL
Oct 2015: 105 mg/dL
My bad cholesterol was just above the optimal range but that has now fallen…
