Yesterday I had my annual health check up and on the whole things are pretty good. The doctor praised my diet and proclaimed that it was spot on. My blood was in good healthy condition and my cholesterol readings were all good. The negatives were that my blood pressure is still on the high side, obviously my weight is still not great and my heart efficiency is poor. All of this is within my own control so that is encouraging and if I keep doing what I am all these will improve. The surprise was that my body fat reading was 23.7% which is clearly a lot lower than I had previously thought. My reading using biometric scales is 27%. I know that biometric scales are not always that accurate and at some point in the next few months I will buy a pair of digital calipers and do the seven point pinch test to more accurately understand what the true reading is.
