Blood is Thicker than Water

After turning a few years into their 40's, people start to be a bit more concerned with health matters. Do the number of supplements in the cupboard automatically increase with age?

In 2000, I had my first cholesterol testing and my triglyceride levels were 620 mg/dL (7 mmol/L). That's way too high.

Now I am more 'lipid conscience'. I'm on daily regimen of 200 mg of Fenofibrate, a capsule each of fish / flaxseed oil, 2500 mg of Niacin, 4 mg of folic acid, and a coated aspirin. Oh, I cannot forget my glass of red wine a day! (It's more fun than an apple a day!)

I just went in for results the other week and my 'score' was in the respectable lower range at 160 mg/dL (1.8 mmol/L). If only some of my dead relatives had been around when lipid testing was a normal procedure, they might have been around longer!


It isn't too much of a stretch to include
this 1975 Neil Sedaka song here, is it?
