Optimal Triglyceride Levels

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

What’s the best way to make sure your triglyceride levels are within normal limits?

It seems that international boards have not agreed upon an ultimate conclusion. Nonetheless, it is generally considered that optimal levels for the average individual are between 70 and 100 mg/dL or 0.8 and 1.1 mmol/L. It may come as a surprise, but people over 70 are expected to reach normal levels of up to 163 mg/dL. European standards regard levels of up to 150.1 mg/dL as normal range, Americans are stricter by 0.1 mg/dL, while Canadians are far more permissive: the normal triglyceride levels range between 50 to 177.2 mg/dL (2.0 mmol/L).

Everything is relative, after all, and you should always confront your results with the doctor’s interpretation!

Worse than I imagined

Saturday, December 15th, 2007

I have always been fairly healthy, and I’ve tried to keep myself as fit as possible, so when I began to suffer from cervical pain last year I was quite disappointed, especially seeing as the pain seemed to get worse day by day. Luckily for me, I was able to have an operation to rid me of the cervical pain within a few months of it getting very bad, so I did not have to suffer too long. I would advise anyone to have an operation as soon as possible because otherwise your life can become almost unbearable.
