Happy weekend house,
Let's discuss Cholestrol
Cholesterol is a WAXLIKE ( grease like) )substance produced in human body,also found in animal products like cowtail, cowleg, meat generally.
. unfortunately excess cholestrol builds up inside the arthries.
Cholestrol begins building from childhood and is necessary for growth in early life.
After 18-22 years, when height stops growing, cholestrol begins to accumulate,
So if careless & continue eating junk foods,eg small chops, street fried foods, example fried yam , potatoes dodo, head of fish ,buns, doughnut ,etc
Sugar-laden foods,like cake etc alcohol etc..
Cholestrol will continue to pile up in your blood vessel
With the above, explanation,+ lifestyle adjustment,
You agree with me that to increase or decrease cholestrol is in our hands , abi?
Types of cholesterol are two
1)HDL = good cholestrol
2) LDL= bad cholesterol, which causes stroke.
Lipo proteins are main carriers of cholesterol.

How cholestrol is tested: blood sample only.
Lipid panel measures the fat in your blood.
High cholesterol typically does not make you
sick sick.
Occasionally patient complain of
*inability to concerntrate in sleep
*Chest tightness
*Headache.
Having cholesterol is not a factor of o, she is fat, she is likely to be having cholesterol, or she is slim, she can't have cholestrol.
Blood sample is the medium fordisgnosis
It is not written on the face.
Values in cholestrol are:
200md/dl= good/ desirable
200-239= borderline to high risk
240or higher =Crisis
We advice life style change,
Eat less fat,fried foods,
Eat more soluble fibre, vegetables,fruits,
Stop habit of eating late & go straight to bed, particularly fried food..
Breakfast should be completely oil free,
So for breakfast, iatsis the best for lowering cholestrol & moimoi is preferred to akara, because, you can determine the amount of oil in the moi moi , unlike the akara that is deep fry atimes you can squeeze out oil from the akara .
Note: High blood sugar,,causes pinholes to be created in your blood vessels,
& Cholestrol fits/ fill in the holes, No pinholes, No build up.
So getting sugar down, prevents heart attack & stroke.

Morning and Evening by Charles Spurgeon

Morning
"I am married unto you." Jeremiah 3:14

Christ Jesus is joined unto his people in marriage-union. In love he espoused his Church as a chaste virgin, long before she fell under the yoke of bondage. Full of burning affection he toiled, like Jacob for Rachel, until the whole of her purchase-money had been paid, and now, having sought her by his Spirit, and brought her to know and love him, he awaits the glorious hour when their mutual bliss shall be consummated at the marriage-supper of the Lamb. Not yet hath the glorious Bridegroom presented his betrothed, perfected and complete, before the Majesty of heaven; not yet hath she actually entered upon the enjoyment of her dignities as his wife and queen: she is as yet a wanderer in a world of woe, a dweller in the tents of Kedar; but she is even now the bride, the spouse of Jesus, dear to his heart, precious in his sight, written on his hands, and united with his person. On earth he exercises towards her all the affectionate offices of Husband. He makes rich provision for her wants, pays all her debts, allows her to assume his name, and to share in all his wealth. Nor will he ever act otherwise to her. The word divorce he will never mention, for "He hateth putting away." Death must sever the conjugal tie between the most loving mortals, but it cannot divide the links of this immortal marriage. In heaven they marry not, but are as the angels of God; yet there is this one marvellous exception to the rule, for in Heaven Christ and his Church shall celebrate their joyous nuptials. This affinity as it is more lasting, so is it more near than earthly wedlock. Let the love of husband be never so pure and fervent, it is but a faint picture of the flame which burns in the heart of Jesus. Passing all human union is that mystical cleaving unto the Church, for which Christ left his Father, and became one flesh with her.

Evening
"Behold the man!" John 19:5

If there be one place where our Lord Jesus most fully becomes the joy and comfort of his people, it is where he plunged deepest into the depths of woe. Come hither, gracious souls, and behold the man in the garden of Gethsemane; behold his heart so brimming with love that he cannot hold it in--so full of sorrow that it must find a vent. Behold the bloody sweat as it distils from every pore of his body, and falls upon the ground. Behold the man as they drive the nails into his hands and feet. Look up, repenting sinners, and see the sorrowful image of your suffering Lord. Mark him, as the ruby drops stand on the thorn-crown, and adorn with priceless gems the diadem of the King of Misery. Behold the man when all his bones are out of joint, and he is poured out like water and brought into the dust of death; God hath forsaken him, and hell compasseth him about. Behold and see, was there ever sorrow like unto his sorrow that is done unto him? All ye that pass by draw near and look upon this spectacle of grief, unique, unparalleled, a wonder to men and angels, a prodigy unmatched. Behold the Emperor of Woe who had no equal or rival in his agonies! Gaze upon him, ye mourners, for if there be not consolation in a crucified Christ there is no joy in earth or heaven. If in the ransom price of his blood there be not hope, ye harps of heaven, there is no joy in you, and the right hand of God shall know no pleasures for evermore. We have only to sit more continually at the cross foot to be less troubled with our doubts and woes. We have but to see his sorrows, and our sorrows we shall be ashamed to mention. We have but to gaze into his wounds and heal our own. If we would live aright it must be by the contemplation of his death; if we would rise to dignity, it must be by considering his humiliation and his sorrow.

Verse of the Day: He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter answered and said, “You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Matthew 16:15-16
