Dont die of a clogged up heart
Posted March 27th, 2010 by SpikeI have not been been in touch with the folks and siblings for about 10 years I became a bit worried when I talked to a relative who I discovered on the web and he told me that my fathers brother had a triple bypass operation and his sister had a pace maker put in.
Because the pair of them had heart attacks instantly placed me on high alert for any possible symptoms that might signify a potential heart condition. My first instinct wasn’t to instantly go out and purchase a Zoll M defibrillator just in case my chest went into fibrillation but it did shake me up a bit.
I had just put my sole trading company on hold and had been grazing on food, which had layed the weight on, 14 stone at 6 foot for me isn’t a good weight. Call it psychosomatic but I began to be concerned about a pain that I was getting in my chest.
Anyway a blood test at the doctors later informed me that my blood cholesterol were to high and the Doctor informed me I was borderline needing drugs to bring my fat level down because of my bloodlines history of heart conditions (though she informed me there was no evidence that a parents Siblings effected their children).
Wake up!!!! I instantly cut out butter, cheese (love cheese!) and didn’t eat chocolate or things that had a elevated cholesterol content. Increased foods that helped with cholesterol (foods from the supermarket nothing professing magical properties just normal food) and began Mountain biking to the then newly started job (10 miles there and back cross country, 14 miles by road).
I purchased a set of scales that originally recorded my fat levels being 25 or 26 which was much to high I have now reduced it 20-21 which is normal. I am now 12 and a half stone and back to my original healthy self. There has been no need to return to the doctors and no longer feel the silly need to rent a Zoll M defibrillator just in case, because I am confident my cholesterol levels are back under control even allowing myself chocolate, cheese and butter in moderation.
When believe that you weigh to much or have a inactive life and feel de energised think about what you eat and begin exercising it wont take long (about a year for me) to have a real benefit to your existence.
