Health...
Since Ashwini was born, I haven't done any regular exercise like I used to. I haven't been watching what I eat, how much I eat and when I eat. I was very apprehensive about my visit to the doctor for a physical a couple of weeks ago and was thinking that my cardiovascular health is in real trouble. Just received the blood test reports and seems like whatever I have been doing wasn't too bad. Here are some numbers to prove it.
| resting heart rate | 76 |
| Blood pressure | 110/70 |
| Total cholesterol | 179 |
| HDL cholesterol (good) | 50 |
| LDL cholesterol (bad) | 109 |
| HDL/total ratio | 3.6 |
| Triglycerides | 102 |
Not bad. All the numbers are in the normal range. Some exercise could bring down the heart rate and improve my HDL/total ratio, but, I am not worried.
Thanks, Ashwini for making sure that I get enough exercise by running after you and keeping me healthy.

Triglycerides just 102? that's great. some of my friends have scored tripple centuries (and more)
no more cheese nowadays? or are you eating fat-free stuff?

So, won't give them up unless my health is in grave danger. But, these test results are encouraging. I don't need to worry about my diet.
