Cholesterol an...I think cholesterol gets a bad rap. Cholesterol and cholesterol derivates are essential components of membranes and steroid hormones. If not consumed in the diet, they will be synthesized in the liver.<br /><br />Damage to the endothelium attracts macrophages which then adsorbs LDL. This can obstruct blood flow, leading to heart disease. On the other hand, HDL, the "good cholesterol", mediates the repair of endothelial damage before plaques form.<br /><br />A great way to increase HDL, ... exercise. Although diet definitely plays a role in chronic disease, I think the lack of exercise outweighs diet as a contributing factor.<br /><br />This bodes well for my theory that I can eat anything I like as long as I go for a run afterwards! :)shannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240335871226653250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2796785757974247915.post-31225454632124804932011-02-12T09:33:13.786-06:002011-02-12T09:33:13.786-06:00Hi Steve

(I feel I need to start with that disclaimer so that no one will, based on what I am about to say, accuse me of being one of those fucking idiot Hannity/Limbaugh types who think government guidelines are a plot to Steal Our Freedomz By Forcing Us All Into Re-Education, er ... Fat Camps.)<br /><br />I went to the <a href="http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/index.aspx" rel="nofollow">page on mypyramid.gov</a> where you can put in your age, height, gender, weight and exercise regime to see what it recommended I eat to get/stay healthy. The first thing I got was a warning that I, as a 6'5" 50-year-old male who exercises in excess of an hour a day and who is roughly 220 pounds, am probably overweight. This warning didn't go away until I reduced my weight to 210, which is evidently the upper limit for a man of my age, height and activeness. At 211? I was still overweight.<br /><br />I was not warned I might - <i>might</i>, mind you - be <i>underweight</i> until I reduced my weight to 155. At 156, everything was hinky-dinky, weight-wise.<br />Frankly, I think I am healthier at 220 than I could EVER be at 156. Obesity is the big problem in this country, despite what fucktards like Hannity and Limbaugh may say, but it seems to me that being underweight can be as much of a problem and anyone who is 50 years old and is 6 feet 5 inches tall should weigh AT LEAST 180 or so. Anything less is underweight.<br /><br />That said, I agree with mypyramid.gov's argument that, currently, I am a bit of a fatass.<br /><br />Better that than Faux Newz fucktard, though.Glaven Q.
