Aware of Own Health.....

An annual examination on your health is essential....despite age and gender.That is what I do not agree much at my adolscent age.




Yet one day when my dad went for a check up, i just tag along.What a surprised!!!! I got a slight high cholestrol and uric acid content!!This is unacceptable because i does exercise regularly and i m still young, i just passed my 20.



What i can do is to consult the doctor what is the possibilities of occurance.Then from his experience someone at my age is possible to have hight cholestrol and uric acid.This is due to the youngster daily diet!!!







From here i studied about Uric acid ,the pro and cons.The picture on the left is the uric acid structure.




Source of Uric acid:

Purines are found in high amounts in animal food products, especially internal organs

High level Uric acid will cause:
-Gout
-Lesch-Nyhan syndrome
-Cardiovascular Disease

Low level Uric acid will cause:
-Multiple sclerosis
-Oxidation stress


So i m at high Uric Acid level and doctor advices me to change my daily diet where less beans,ikan bilis and even cabagges.







Then for the cholestrol level i m slightly high one the LDL(@bad cholestrol).
eventually cholestrol is divided into 3 categories :
-VLDL(very low density lipo-protein)
-LDL(low density lipo-protein)
-HDL(high densitry lipo-protein)
Mechanism
VLDL carries fat from lever to others parts, then become LDL when fats is unloaded. LDL easily get stuck along the blood vessels.HDL will clean the blood vessel and bring them back to the liver

So doctor advices is to change diet where we eat less fat, less cholestrol, more fiber.more starches and drink less alchohol .Despite that lossing weight and regular exercise is esential

If the cholestrol is uncontroled it will increase the risk of heart attack, heart dissease, stroke and cardiovascular diseases.

Therefore health consiousness is very important thou at a young age........
Have a good health and enjoy life to the fullest
