Blood test 2 - CHOLESTEROL

About 2 years ago, I did a blood test.
Back then, I did not know we are not allowed to eat before the test. (No one told me!) So, I ate my left-over birthday cake, chestnut gateau from Bread top  in the morning.

The test showed HIGH in cholesterol... I was shocked ,>_<,
But later on, my friend told me that is probably because I ate a cake.
Yes, I was eased.

However, this test I took a few weeks ago also showed HIGH in cholesterol!!

The doctor said to me,
"Avoid deep fried food, meat, cheese, fish & chips...."

I believe I don't eat these food much!! Well, I just need to stick with foods which lower cholesterol level.

Chickpeas are good source of cholesterol lowering fiber.
Here's what I made:




Carrots, eggplant, celery, broccoli, garlic, lentil & chickpeas, and brown rice, and a glass of red wine or two or three? :D
