In preparation for The World Senior Citizen’s Day which is celebrated on 21 August each year, an enthusiastic reader/contributor circulated this message for Senior Citizens to start getting in shape for the date! These tips apply to all age groups given the lifestyles we lead, the stresses and strains of living in cities and the reality of the happenings in the world we live in today.
What is Lipid Profile?
A famous doctor explained lipid profile in a very good way and shared a beautiful story explaining it in a unique way.
Imagine that our body is a small town. The biggest troublemaker in this town is – Cholesterol.
He also has some companions. His main partner in crime is – Triglyceride.
Their job is to roam in the streets, create chaos and block the roads.
The heart is the city center of this town. All the roads lead to the heart.
When these troublemakers start increasing, you can imagine what happens. They try to obstruct the work of the heart.
But our body-town also has a police force deployed – HDL
The good policeman catches these troublemakers and puts them in jail (liver).
Then the liver removes them from the body – through our drainage system.
But there is also a bad cop – LDL who is hungry for power.
LDL takes these miscreants out of jail and lets them back on the streets.
When the good cop HDL goes down, the whole town goes haywire.
Who would want to live in such a town?
Do you want to reduce these miscreants and increase the number of good policemen?
Start Walking!
With every step HDL will increase, and miscreants like Cholesterol, Triglyceride and LDL will decrease.
Your body (town) will come alive again.
Your heart – the city center – will be protected from the blockage (heart block) of miscreants.
And when the heart is healthy, you will also be healthy.
So whenever you get a chance – start walking!
Stay healthy… and Wishing you good health.
This article tells you the best way to increase HDL (good cholesterol) and reduce LDL (bad cholesterol) i.e. walking.
Every step increases HDL. So – Come on, move on and keep moving.
