Another sore spot with me are lab results. Why is it that the medical profession insists our lab results read like that of a 20-year-old? Especially if you happen to be part of the baby boomer generation. My veins…my arteries are not 40 years younger. They are not supple anymore. Let’s face it. They are hardening and it requires more effort to get things moving through them. That is one of the reasons why blood pressure climbs. It’s a long way to travel to the brain and more pressure is required to get there. It is literally an “uphill” journey.

And what about cholesterol? After all, cholesterol is the “band-aid” required to patch up blood vessels that sustain nicks. This keeps the blood platelets from latching on and therefore causing a major “traffic jam” with the resultant build up that can lead to a blocked artery or vein resulting in a heart attack or stroke. If our cholesterol is supposed to be as low as the medical professionals have us believe, than there seems there wouldn’t be enough “band-aids” to heal those nicks. It has been reported low cholesterol reading in the more mature years could be a sign of dementia or even Alzheimer’s. » Read more: Medical Professionals Rate Low in Customer Service
