​SEVEN DAYS A VEGAN, PART ONE

       Over the years my cholesterol had been creeping up, but according to the test results of a recent physical my lipid numbers took a sudden flying leap skyward. So dramatic was this rise in my numbers that my doctor suspected my lipids of lying through their teeth and ordered another round of tests.
        But no. Mine were truthful lipids, and so I was prescribed a miniscule pink pill of apparently great power relative to its size,

 ...to chase those floaty little fats from my arterial playground.
Picture
      I am not one of those folks who is categorically opposed to taking pills. After all, I figure we're all just made up of so many chemicals, anyway:

     So if a chemical goes on the fritz and it's remediable, just remedy it, already. Me, I have too many fish to fry to squabble over whether I get my body chemical fix organically or pharmaceutically. Let me pop a pill and get on with my life.
      However, that being said, I'm nonetheless a believer in doing what one can for one's health at one's age. Thus I pound the neighborhood pavement every morning to try and strengthen my bones against osteoporosis and I do some daily aerobics to get the blood pumping through my eyes to hopefully help ward off a case of creeping glaucoma (see post from 4/19/2020, "I, Runner"). 
Picture
      If there's any not-too-painful thing that one can do on one's own that might ameliorate a chemical boo-boo, I'll give it a try.       
      And so, having received the diagnosis of sky-high cholesterol, I decided to give a vegan diet a try. Just a try. Just a brief fling. A very brief fling. Just to see how it would be be. Just to see if I could do it.
        To be continued...
