RECENTLY in a family gathering, I noted a change in my brother-in-law. A self-professed fine food and wine lover, he had declined an offer to drink at lunch. And he spoke fondly of his gym session that day, which apparently is now a regular routine! Strange indeed coming from him. Naturally our curiosity took over as we probed deeper into this change of lifestyle.
As it turns out, he’s always been “suffering” from high cholesterol levels since early adulthood. Previously, he conveniently dismissed it as hereditory and that he could do nothing about it, until recently. His cholesterol level has risen significantly in recent years that he is advised to go on medication. Whilst the medication could help regulate his cholesterol level, it is a life-long commitment with potential side effects that could damage his liver! So although one problem is solved, another complication is possible.
