HDL is good cholesterol, and apparently I don't have enough. I don't have high overall, or high LDL, but I'm about 5 points shy of being in the healthy range for the good stuff.
After looking online, I need to eat more fish, specifically tuna, trout, mackeral, and salmon. I'm not a fish person (I like catfish, and the occasional tuna fish sandwich). Not a big fan of salmon. I know there's some good cooks out there with good recipes for this stuff, so I'm asking you to send away! Just post it in the comments or at least shoot me a link.
A little more research reveals that I should eat more nuts and even peanut butter. No complaints there. Also, most websites said that a glass of red wine every day would be good too. Can't say I like the taste of red wine, so if there's a good "starter" wine out there for me to try, I'm all ears. Just nothing too expensive. The sweeter the better too.
Oh yeah, they also say exercise helps, and the way that Brandon and I have been working out lately should be more than enough to get me there. Although, I am proud to say that I can bend my arms a day after the workout, so there's already improvement.

I told Erika how I make Salmon on the grill and I suggest Yellow Tail Shiraz! Am I right Gina or am I right?? That is my favorite wine in the whole world!
ReplyDeleteOmega 3 Fish Oil supplements will help with a lack of fish in your diet.
ReplyDeleteI love Shiraz, but actually Chris and I, it's so funny, but when we started drinking red wine we started with "Paisano" by Carlo Rossi. Honestly it's not ghetto or anything but sweet. I couldn't go back to that but it's a good starter wine and cheap too! Fish recipes for the non fish eaters..."Blacken it" in a skillet on high heat and make a spicy tarter sauce on the side with lots of lemon to squeeze on top...yummy!!
ReplyDeleteoh, I have an awesome blackened catfish recipe!! I can email to y'all. DON'T buy fish at Wal Mart, go to HEB Plus! :) Sorry, I just thought of that so I came back on! :)
