[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I want feedback on my diet and exercise as I go through the next few days. I will post what I do and you can criticize it mercilessly. I’m 48F with good blood pressure, slightly high LDL without a good HDL to balance it, no blood sugar issues, BMI 21.5, and no underlying health conditions. Main goal is maintaining and possibly getting my cholesterol ratio better.

Morning

Walk 2.5 miles - 131 bpm
Strength training - 15 minutes upper body with free weights

Two eggs with a 1/2 oz cheddar cheese
Cup of 1% milk
Cup of blueberries 
Hot tea no sugar[/quote]

Diet -

I would swap the 1% milk for a cup of 1% yogurt and put the blueberry in it.  Add some hemp hearts and crushed walnuts or almonds in it.

Add spinach, tomatoes, onions in your eggs and cheese, use some olive oil to cook an omelette.

nuts and olive oil will help to bring up your good cholesterol number.

Exercise -
Maybe bump up the weight training for additional 5 minutes.

Great suggestions. Thank you. I planned to put spinach in my eggs but when I looked in the fridge we were all out. What are hemp hearts? I drink 1% due to saturated fat content. I switch between 1-2%. [/quote]

Hemp seeds are a great source of magnesium, which helps regulate your heartbeat and is linked to the prevention of coronary heart disease. They also contain Linoleic acid, which one study found reduced participants' cholesterol levels by 15% and may act to reduce blood pressure.

Having a cup of yogurt instead of cup of milk, helps to provide more nutrition in terms of probiotics and B vitamins due to bacterial activity. I am not very concerned about 1 or 2 percent milk.  If you can set your own milk to yogurt you will get the most active bacteria. Can not say enough about what a good gut biome can do for your health. It impacts everything.  [/quote]
