[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 709099, member: 15032"] Good thread! My father dropped dead at 61. No autopsy but doctors felt it was massive heart attack. That was before we ever even heard the word "cholesterol". He was a cook in the army. Loved his eggs, bacon, toast with butter and jelly and carnation milk in his coffee every morning. He wasn't really fat but was a big guy. Probably not really more than a tad overweight though. I figure cholesterol is what killed him. My bad cholesterol is teetering. My good cholesterol is high. I go to the doctor next month for my yearly check up and to get allergy medications renewed. I take Omega 3 daily. I also take a low dose aspirin. I lead a fairly active lifestyle and have tried to keep weight down. So far no medications for anything other than allergies. I'm anxious to see what my numbers are now. I walk 1-2 miles per day 5x per week. That has to be helping something. I think I eat pretty healthy most of the time. I think the fact that my bad cholesterol needs to be watched is due to heredity. This year I have made it all about getting MYSELF healthy. If the last five years with son didn't kill me then I know they did some damage to something even if it's just my nerves!! [/QUOTE]
