Watch out you skinny guys out there! You may be the ones with high cholesterol level. How I know this was through a personal experience of my college mate.
I had always thought that high cholesterol level was for people who are on the’round’ side until my friend told me that she had this high cholesterol level in her and it is hereditary. I was shocked to hear it from her because she was skinny. At forty, she could still fit into her pair of jeans she had been wearing since she was eighteen years old. I asked her whether she was serious about it or whether she was joking and her answer was’No’.
All the while, I had been the one who was particular about cholesterol level because I have never been skinny. I guess this is also hereditary unless I go all out to exercise. However, when I went to have a check-up at the clinic, I was told that my cholesterol level was in fact very low. I took the opportunity to ask the doctor about my’skinny’ friend who had high cholesterol level and the doctor said that one of the factors is that it is hereditary. The other reason is perhaps more psychological because when a person is skinny, he or she will not be as conscious as those on the plump side and will tend to eat all kinds of food that has high cholesterol level thinking that it would not cause any harm because they are skinny. But NO! They may be proved wrong.
So, my advise to all out there! I don’t mean to scare you guys who are in the’skinny’ category and I am also not trying to be bland but take it in good faith.
Why not go for a check-up to make sure that your cholesterol level is O.K., then you can eat anything under the sun fearlessly. Take care and stay healthy.
