After four years in medical school and three years training to become a doctor, I had learned

a lot about how the human body works and what it takes to keep it healthy.

But I also formed a habit that helped me get through the long hours of becoming a doctor.

Life is so thick and creamy.

My name is Baku Jena and I love ice cream a lot.

That's why it melts so slowly, from hug indoors, from the longer lasting pleasure.

Like it was a half a pint of day habit.

There wasn't a flavor I hadn't tried.

Ice crystals on the containers at the grocery store, not a problem.

I could work through that.

But at my checkup with my primary care doctor almost ten years ago, I had a rude awakening.

My cholesterol was high and my doctor asked me what was going on towards really ice cream.

My doctor, she gave me a stern but you know really empathetic look and she told me I needed

to make a change.

I knew it wasn't going to be easy, but I did it.

With those cholesterol numbers staring back at me and my doctor's orders, I basically

got scared straight.

I cut way back on the ice cream.

It reminds me, what's that thing that Cookie Monster says now?

Cookie, some time food.

Right.

There are sometimes food and ice cream I guess should be a sometimes food.
