The results are in...

Earlier this month I posted about the 9 Health Fair that Jesse and I attended in Golden. Well our results are finally in. All my levels are normal as can be or better than normal. Jesse has a lower level of good Cholesterol (HDL) and a slightly higher level of Alkaline Phosphate, but neither one is off by too much so we aren't worried. I will however have him take his results in to the doctor with him for his next check up just to be safe. I really think the Health Fair had a big impact on us. We weren't really eating poorly before, but there is always room for improvement and so we've been improving. We eat more fruits and veggies than we did before. We used to be on the lower level of suggested intake, but now we are bordering the top level. We've also started cooking with coconut oil, buying more locally grown products, and stepping up our exercise routines. Before our exercise was minimal to say the least, but now that Jesse has his new bike we've been riding everywhere. He even road it the 10miles to work and back while I was out of town last week. They have another Health Fair in the fall and hopefully when we go to that one we will see improved results on our next read out.
