CHOLESTEROL – Is yours good or bad?

 

/

CHOLESTEROL – is a type of fat lipid that is essential for all animal life, in the right amounts.  It is much like fats but can’t be exercised off, sweated out, or burned for energy.

It helps make the outer coating of cells; makes up the bile acids that work to digest food in the intestine, and allows the body to make Vitamin D and hormones, such as testosterone in men and estrogen in women.  Check out these cholesterol facts. 

Is cholesterol good or bad for you?  Fats and cholesterol is like a fat-slick topping if it was dumped directly into your blood.  However, the body transports fat and cholesterol by coating them with a water-soluble “bubble” of protein. This protein-fat bubble is called a lipoprotein.

High cholesterol is one of the major risk factors leading to heart disease, heart attack and stroke. High cholesterol does not produce symptoms until significant damage has been done; blood testing is the only way to find out these important numbers.

Low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) carry cholesterol to the tissues. This is “bad” cholesterol, since high LDL levels are suspected to increase the risk for heart disease.

High density lipoproteins (HDLs) carry excess cholesterol back to your liver, which in turn, processes and excretes the cholesterol. HDLs are “good” cholesterol. The more HDL you have, the lower your risk for developing heart disease. HDLs and LDLs are found only in your blood.

It always help to watch your diet and exercise regularly to maintain good cholesterol.  Here are a few recipes to get you started.

Why TRAVEL?

Book a TripThis is the first of my Travel Series provided to help others like myself find fun, freedom, and fulfillment.

Traveling through books is a great way to see the world.  Getting out there and traveling with friends and family is the real life experience.

Have you ever been sick and tired of being sick and tired?  Tired of the same old grind every day?  Well, that was me a few years ago.  I had worked 40 years to get a monthly annuity.  Oh, I’m not complaining, but what I know now I wish someone had showed me years ago.  Our parents taught us to go to school, get a good education, get a good job, settle down, and on and on.  And then if you’ve worked hard enough you may be able to retire.  But the gist was you were working hard for someone else.  I kept thinking, there must be a better way. 

Robert Kiyosaki, author of the book “Rich Dad, Poor Dad”, enlightened me years ago about who we are working for and who was really getting rich from our efforts.  In Corporate America you work for someone else, even if you own your own business.  The freedom comes when you are part of something that works for you, even when you’re not working.

While I was one of the fortunate ones, there should have been someone yelling really loud: “What About Your Plan B” and I’m not talking 40lks and Social Security.  That’s not even secure and stable anymore. What are we doing now, at any age, to really secure our future.  Plan B is your backup plan for when nothing goes right, the check doesn’t get to the bank in time, work hours are reduced or you simply get laid off!  What are you going to do?

I was fortunate to have a lady share a video just at the right time when I had asked GOD to give me my purpose.  You see, I had retired, done the traveling, but my check just wasn’t enough for all I wanted to do.  Mind you, that check took care of my expenses with a little left over.  But there was never enough to do a lot extra.  I just wanted to travel and see the world.  I wanted to help my family. Wholesale travel

In doing what the video showed me I knew my dreams was reachable.  I am free from worrying about whether my retirement check is coming; free from wondering if the monthly check would be enough; free to go wherever I want, whenever I want and not wait to get permission to go.  That’s freedom, fulfillment, and totally fun!

That’s my story.  If your story sounds like mine, you should kick into gear.    Communicate with someone that can help you with your “Plan B”.

This lady showed me how I could qualify for a FREE 5-day stay in Mexico and I have my ticket.  I was shown how I could win a FREE Cruise to the Bahamas, and now I have 3 free cruises.  It has just been amazing.  Mine is a real, simply, ordinary story, no different from anyone else.  I just got sick and tired of being sick and tired.  I looked at the video, jumped in feet first, never regretted it.  Meeting so many people, helping so many.  It’s been my life for a while now.  And I’m meeting people all over the world.  Procrastinate no longer:  Sit down and work on your Plan B.  Get it done!
