In that case, definitly cut down on the booze. I need to cut back myself.
There really are no benefits to booze at all, unless you're having 1 glass of redwine for a bad heart. As for your cholesterol and tri's, just try cleaning up the diet. Where I work, they give us a full physical yearly. Bloodwork, urinalysis, spirometry, xrays, hearing, eyes, flexability, strength, endurance, ekg, etc. My blood is always in check except for the cholesterol. Occasionally it is high. One trick I have for lowering it, is to eat oatmeal, fruits, and walnuts for breakfast every morning. Substituting eggs with oatmeal has drastically lowered my cholesterol.
Sounds like you've got the right approach. You've acknowledged that there's a problem, you're trying to fix it, and you're trying to get health coverage. Cut out the booze, clean up the diet, and do more cardio. Good luck.
