I am not totally unhealthy

Today a coworker scheduled me for lunch. When I met her outside the cafeteria, she said "we're getting our cholesterol checked!" (They were having free screenings in one of the lobbies at work.) One stabbed finger, one Bugs Bunny bandaid, and 5 minutes later, and these were the numbers I saw:

Total Cholesterol: 168mg/dl
Supposed to be below 200 for sure, and below 170 if you have a history of heart disease or diabetes.

High Density Lipoprotein: 60mg/dl
Supposed to be 45mg/dl or higher.

Glucose: 89mg/dl
Supposed to be between 80-140 mg/dl.

Yay for liking leafy greens, fruit, and whole wheat!
