Personal Responsibility In Lowering Your High Cholesterol

0

Fast food is considered a staple in many American diets today. Prepackaged items at the grocery store may be easy to prepare, but the labels suggest unhealthy levels of fat and calories. Sodium content is also a major concern. Many people fail to eat well-balanced meals. In a hurry, many people simply forage in the refrigerator for a quick bite, or grab something on the go.


Forget about trying to eat the recommended daily allowance from all the food groups. Therefore, it should be no surprise cholesterol levels are rising accordingly. When a doctor mentions the need to lower cholesterol levels, a patient will generally react in one of three different ways. He/she will adopt a “tomorrow” attitude, decide to die happy, or take personal responsibility toward making the appropriate changes.


Probably the most common reaction to high cholesterol is unbelief as to the serious repercussions. Many individuals believe the problem is no big deal. Tending to put off until tomorrow what should be dealt with today, could lead to disaster. For example, a 57-year-old man’s cholesterol levels are too high. However, he has lost a few extra pounds. Also, he walks a lot and gets plenty of exercise. In fact, he probably looks and feels better than he has in past years. Surely his cholesterol numbers will go down, and he will not have to worry about them anymore. Unfortunately, the man made a fatal error in judgment; he will never see 58.


Uneducated regarding the increased potential for life-threatening heart disease, individuals also tend to take a prescription and resume eating ice cream for dessert, fast food, and other high fat meals. Unfortunately, medicine is not a cure all. Unless individuals make the conscience choice to implement permanent changes in lifestyle, and begin making healthier choices, the medicine will not work as intended. Therefore, patients are still susceptible to cardiovascular disease.


People fail to realize high cholesterol and high blood pressure both contribute to heart attacks and strokes. Although the word is out regarding high blood pressure, motivating individuals to take the problem seriously, high cholesterol has not yet been elevated to the same level of concern. Health professionals are attempting to change patients’ perceptions regarding fatty deposits blocking blood flow.


Sadly, many people are too lazy, or unwilling to change, even when life hangs in the balance. Self-denial is not in their vocabulary. Rather than taking the health problem seriously and facing the truth, individuals choose to believe debilitating/deadly heart attacks and strokes will happen to the other guy. Personally, he/she will dodge the proverbial bullet.


However, fatalism is by far the worst attitude possible, when confronted with the serious health issues associated with high cholesterol. Nevertheless, a surprising number of people are essentially playing Russian roulette with life. Sadly, Americans are a fat society, literally and figuratively. From a young age, individuals are taught to look after number one, to go after wants, and not to let anything/anyone stand in the way. Unfortunately, the same skewed philosophy often translates into poor health habits.


For example, most people know to snack on fruits and vegetables, instead of a piece of chocolate cake. However, the cake tastes so much better, and the excuses start to fly. Dying prematurely seems like a remote possibility, and surely one piece of cake will not make the matter worse. Besides, if death comes early, at least the person will not have to sacrifice, and he/she will die happy. How sad!


By far, the best attitude is the responsible approach. Wise individuals will take the necessary steps to reduce cholesterol levels. Unless cholesterol levels are dangerously high, requiring immediate attention, doctors will suggest lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, and stressors. Proactive people will embrace a healthier lifestyle by eating more fruits, vegetables, and other high fiber foods. In addition, a regular exercise routine becomes a permanent part of every day activities. While getting buff at the local gym may not be a personal choice, a daily walk is a good start to getting the cardiovascular system in good shape.


However, if the patient responsibly complies, and cholesterol levels are still high, a doctor may then suggest medication. However, a responsible person understands the medicine only aids the necessary changes. Medication is not a ticket to observe unhealthy habits. Controlling high cholesterol is an individual choice.


In summary, more Americans are being diagnosed with high cholesterol. Like hypertension, an elevated cholesterol level can become a silent killer. However, patients often choose to put treatment off until tomorrow, or live in a perpetual state of denial, until cardiovascular disease rules the day. Thankfully, wise people know controlling high cholesterol is a personal choice. Enlightened, a lifestyle change is a small price to pay for the opportunity to live a long and healthy life.

Dieting – the good news is there is no magic bullet – its about taking personal responsibility

0

We know from what we read and see on the television that we have a growing obesity problem. This causes great discomfort and higher mortality in those who suffer due to being overweight.  

It is also noticeable that the highest rates of obesity are in the rich western industrialised countries. You are unlikely to see a programme on growing obesity in Tanzania or Malawi anytime soon.

So we’re in this situation because we have the money to be able to do it. It is not a national thing either. How many fat people were there in Britain in the late 40s when there was still rationing ? Not many I guess. No, we’re fat because we’re rich and we can afford to indulge ourselves, and we’re used to having what we want NOW. Perhaps we’re more interested in short-term gratification than our long-term best interests.

How much money is made by the diet industry in helping us cure our addiction ? Loads, not a very scientific answer admittedly, but loads. And the worse thing about these is that they all seem to offer a magic bullet to help weight loss, and worse than that they seem to be subject to fashion trends. How awful is that? We’ve seen many over the years in the UK : the GI diet, the Cambridge diet, the Atkins diet, the F-plan diet and so on. If these are good diets why do we not hear about them now? They should be working and the success stories should be in our consciousness. In fairness to the sellers of these diets I am sure they are all sound, scientifically researched products that do work. However people give up on the basis that they’re a bit too much like hard work, and off we go again, rushing off to the next person promising to turn you into a figure like Claudia Schiffer or Elle Macpherson.

Having spoken to many people and made observations over the years it seems there are no magic bullets, no easy ways to lose weight, certainly not any that don’t involve some self-discipline and taking personal responsibility. So it’s down to 3 things then ;

Reducing food intake

Working on the basis that we eat too much because we can afford to, means we have to simply reduce the amount we eat – a little. Not suggesting we go hungry, but we can start by taking a little less. 3 proper meals a day ought to cover it.

Taking more exercise

Perhaps this is key, and the most significant of the 3 ? What do you think ? In our quest for packing as much into our day as possible, we jump into our cars and drive. There are times when we could leave our cars, and walk, or park further out of town and walk the rest of the way, or walk to work if that is practical. As with all types of exercise it is about building up consistency. Not necessarily walking 50 miles once a week.  

Taking up some form of sport or regular exercise can be fantastically rewarding, and for more reasons than what it does for you physically. It can be great for your mental health, and work life balance, but there is a separate article on this.

Signing on at the gym, taking up badminton, or regular swimming – it is important to find something that you can enjoy, and other human beings you can share your pastime with.

And make the kids walk too. Kids are designed to burn off amazing amounts of energy – that’s what they’re meant for ! If you want proof, just take any child under the age of 12 to any kids playground and watch how much they run about. A lesson I learnt along time ago with a 2 year old on holiday in Scotland is that they tend to play up far less and are far easier to manage if they exert themselves during the day. Keep them cooped up all day and it becomes hard work.

Cutting out bad eating habits

A key element of weight loss is cutting out bad eating habits. Of the 3 things detailed here, this is my personal weakness – sitting in front of the TV late evening eating peanuts. Great, very satisfying but yeah – probably not a good habit.

I run training sessions for groups of people in communications skills, customer service and telephone selling. It is interesting to watch people head off to the vending machine at morning break time for Kit Kat, crisps and the like. You can then overhear conversations that typically feature comments about being starving and not having time for breakfast.

A new habit of getting up 10 minutes earlier should sort that one out. I used to know someone who battled weight problems who used to forego breakfast because he used to get up at silly o’clock in the morning in order to go to work. He then didn’t have any lunch, because ‘I’m just too busy, and don’t get the time’ and then ate large in the evening – not long before he went to bed early in order to repeat the cycle the following day.

For us to sustain a good weight and level of fitness, it requires developing good habits and exercising self-discipline and taking personal responsibility. The rewards are there to be had without spending a fortune on expensive diet programmes, but like anything we want to be good at in life it requires a bit of dedication. There is no magic bullet, but it can be done. It is within us.
