Decided to get a physical done a few weeks back (never had one).
Results came back and I'm preg...no that's not it.
I've got a low Hematocrit score, so I'm basically anemic. Also got high cholesterol at 245, with the bad crap at 169

So it's low fat, low cholesterol food with an iron supplement for the next 3 months, after which I get tested again. Had oat bran on my cornflakes this morning. Not too bad, actually...
Let the slagging commence

Funny thing is, I don't each much red meat. Then again, I wouldn't exactly have a great diet. For lunch at work it's usually some kind of Hormel bung-in-the-microwave effort.

Well you are the same age as my youngest son. Soooo eat a little more meat and put some blueberries on the oats, that should help. The chlorestel total score is not too bad. I know they want it below 200. Work out and all that crap.... Just try and take care of yourself...

A couple things -- A) grass-fed beef/venison/wild fish are your friend, so's grapeseed oil and grass-fed dairy.
B) Avoid transfats like the plague.
C) Flaxseed meal/oil is also a good idea.

Definitely go out and get some venison. It's health food!
