Genes are funny things

I had bloodwork done the other day and got the results this morning. 

Good news:
Thryoid levels good 
HDLs good
LDLs good
VLDLs good

Bad news:
Total cholesterol high at 244 (>240 is considered high)
Triglycerides "borderline high" at 187 (200-499 is considered high)

At this point they're at levels that don't warrant medication, so she said to start taking a fish oil supplement, watch my diet & exercise, & recheck in 6 months.  She calculated my risk percentage based off of my age, systolic blood pressure, total chol, & HDL chol and got <1%, so I'm not real concerned about it.  I have no idea what risk we're talking about here though...heart attack?  No clue. 

So that was a big reality check.  I guess we'll see what kind of deal I can strike up with my body in the next 6 months.
