Never having been one to participate in a Health Fair (at work), I had a bit of extra time yesterday between meetings, so I hesitantly decided to join in and have some health vitals examined.
Mind you, I've been telling the wife for a full year now that I'd schedule a date with our family physician to get a physical (she's really worried about my blood pressure and cholesterol levels).
Vitals:
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 215 pounds
Age: 40
Body Fat: 18% (Healthy range is 10-25%)
Blood Pressure: Systolic (top): 138, Diastolic (bottom): 82 ( Ideal is 120/80)
Blood Glucose Screening: 70 (ideal is 80-120 and less than 170 (1-2 hours after a meal)
Cholersterol: 182 (Desirable is less than 200)
After comparing results with my co-workers, my averages equate to where most of the 20-26 year old men were landing! Not too shabby!
