Re: Happy Numbers

Neal, I'm interested in how you raised your HDL. Mine is only 38 and someone said to eat oatmeal and blueberries.

Just got the results of my blood work last Friday.

        06/05    07/01

Cholesterol    204    172
Triglycerides    318    240
HDL        41    37
LDL        99    87
Weight        228    220

Don't know how these compare to others' numbers, but I am pleased with the results so far.
