The scan was this year.
The rest started a few years ago (after age 40).

I failed my cholesterol test in my recent med check up. Doc was suggesting medication but I told him that I want to try to diet and exercise for 3 months to see whether I can improve the readings. If I fail, then another 3 months. If still fail, then no choice I have to get a lifetime membership within the big family of Crestor/Zocor (statin).


I started to research a lot on health for the past 2 months to have a healthier diet (not that my diet was unhealthy to begin with actually).

I chanced upon this excellent lecture that has more than 6.5 million viewers:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

In it, it talks about sugar, inflammation, metabolic disorders, etc, that lead to diseases.

Good to know for knowledge and see what you can do for yourself and your family in terms of a proper diet for disease prevention.

Currently, I am consuming less than 6 teaspoons of added sugar per day (mostly from the 2 glasses of milk I take everyday) and am ultra conscious of whatever foods that I am putting into my mouth. My diet now is full of fruits, veg, nuts/seeds, good fats, and whole grains. Add on with a min 10,000 steps per day routine, I lose about 4 kgs in 2 months.

I am crossing fingers that I can decline the lifelong membership if offered again in early August.

My gf told me her friend just passed away at 41 years old from ovarian cancer. She left behind 3 children age 7-15.

She was in pain days before her demise n had to be fed on morphine.

I feel so sad when I heard this.

Life is so short n precious. I am reminded to enjoy each day of my life n to feel blessed with what I have n to spend quality time with my loves ones.
