Through my cholesterol adventures I learned about the triglycerides TG (Bad) to high density lipoprotein HDL (Good) TG:HDL ratio thanks to
@laurashin
• Current 0.61 TG:HDL is very good
• The theory is that the ratio is a more important indicator for cardiac plaque build up than the broader LDL number because high triglycerides can lead to smaller and denser LDL build up compared to larger less dangerous LDL
• Triglycerides are largely impacted by nutrition and exercise
Because my 227 LDL is high even with good nutrition and exercise my primary care physician PCP and I are exploring a genetic connection and will see there's any actual plaque build up or not with a Coronary artery calcium CAC test using a CT scan

@ds8
the older you get the more important mobility is
in my attempt to reach immortality (or at least my toes) i have figured out that it's not due to my tight hamstrings that i fail (those too), but primarily tension in the sciatic nerve
i also found out
- it's a pretty common issue, especially for people with sedentary lifestyle (hello, terminally online 👋)
- it doesn't like to be stretched
- it can be diagnosed easily (see the reply)
- it can be fixed
and fixing it is what i set out to do with the foldable mini app

Today I did some strength work followed by an incline walk on the threadmill. It is way too hot to run.
