2018 - exercise and focus on golf

2018 for me is focused on making inroads to regain back my health.

1. Exercise wise I make it a point to have weekly round of golf!

2. I try to eat less rice.

3. Try to lower my weight to 70kg and below. As of march Im at 75 now!

4. I made a concoction of artery cleansing formula of (1) garlic juice (2) honey (3) apple cider (4) lemon and (5) ginger! Two tablespoon daily is good enough to be my medicine!

5. When no concalls at night I try to hit the road using my bike!

Health check - 3 months later!

The lipid numbers came!! All good news!

1. Total cholesterol down : 294 to 187

2. LDL down : 197 to 106

3. HDL up : 50 to 57

4. Trigly down : 238 to 120

Wow!!!

But liver is still the challenge

1. SGPT : still at 41 vs normal of less than 37

2. GGT : 254 vs less than 51 as normal.

Ok ok, after another health scare in May 1st 2017, ( this time hypertension attack), I had to reclaim my health!

And so the first order of business is to refrain from eating too much rice at night, eat more salads, less intake of carbs, and oily food and most of all - RELAX!

My BP was up at an unprecedented 145/95 back in May week1. On normal days, I was always 120/80 since young. In addition, my cholesterol shot up to 296 (highest ever since I am monitoring this number). My liver SGPT is also on the high side. And so - at the doctors prodding-

1. Medication for my lives - GODEX!
2. Medz for my cholesterol - Renostatin
3. Medz for HT - Lozartan Pottassium!

After taking these meds for 2 months, and struggling to keep focus on sleeping before 12 midnight, I felt better. Going back to my doctor, I was told yet again to continue medication for another month before doing a blood rest to determine improvement.

Meanwhile, been having a blast riding my saddle for the past 3 weeks (june 24 holiday started everything).

June 2017 Cycling lifestyle

The holiday cycling event with my wife proved to be fun and functional.

Apart from the health scare, the decision is also a wise move to kick start yet again the marital relationship.

 

 

Stop wasting time

Other than work - Feels like my life is wasting...meaning Im not being used to what Im called to do..

Why?

1. The builder in me whats to build something-like a commercial building, or architectural structure that people would talk about..

2. The educator in me wanted to leave a lasting legacy to teach what I know..maybe collaborate with a university and develop a curriculum teaching quality?

3. The creative boy inside me wanted to develop a film, that people would talk to one day.

4. The sportsman in me wants to pursue good health by engaging in golf, triathlon and basketball.

BP scare- May 1 2017

I was playing golf when I feel a sudden dizziness, nausea and sweating I could not explain what Im feeling. (a little disoriented too)! From all my readings,friends stories etc, I thought Im having a heart attack!

So when I went to my doctor, it turns out my BP has gone haywire to 140/88 range!! What used to be 120/80 has gone very wild! This is all happening on May 1st Labor day, barely a few days after an intensive weeklong meeting in Taiwan with fellow managers.

Two days later (may 3), I decided to bring home wifey and the baby for a quick vacation, hoping the less stress environment would do me good. BAD idea! Once in Manila, the high BP incident continued!

Well meaning in laws started asking doctors left and right for my meds. Bringing along my medical screening data, my wife cousin doctor recommended LOZARTAN for my BP, Godex for my liver and Rosaek ek for trigly and cholesterol lowering medz. Verdict? I had to take this for two months and then check on the numbers once more.

War against Kule!

The numbers this may 2017!

Total kule: 294  vs <200

HDL: 50 vs > 40

LDL: 197 < 130

Ratio: 5.9 <4.51

Triglycerdes: 238 <200

My celebration is shortlived when I went back to 2016 numbers...there is a slight increase in the total kule level...

Daniel diet here I come!!!
