Dont die of a clogged up heart

Having not really been in contact with the family for about 10 years I found it a bit worrying when I talked to a relative of mine that I found on the internet and he informed me that my old mans brother had a triple bypass operation and his sister had a pace maker fitted.

The fact that both of them had heart attacks instantly placed me on high alert for any potential symptoms that might signify a possible heart condition. I didn’t instantly go out and purchase a Zoll M defibrillator on the off chance my chest went into fibrillation but I did get a bit paranoid.

Having just placed my sole trading company on hold and had been grazing on food, which had put the weight on, 14 stone at 6 foot for me isn’t a healthy weight. Call it psychosomatic but I started to worry about a pain that I was getting in my chest.

Anyway a blood test at the doctors later told me that my blood fats were to high and the Doctor informed me I was on the borders of needing drugs to reduce my cholesterol level down due to my bloodlines history of heart conditions (though she informed me there was no evidence that a parents brothers and sisters effected their progeny).

Snap out of it!!!! I instantly cut out butter, cheese (love cheese!) and didn’t eat chocolate or things that had a high cholesterol content. Increased foods that reduced cholesterol (stuff from the supermarket nothing stating super powers) and started Mountain biking to the then newly started job (ten 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 way to high I have now reduced it 20-21 which is what it should be. I am now 12 and a half stone and back to my original athletic self. I haven’t been back to the doctors and am not renting a Zoll M defibrillator just in case, because I know my cholesterol levels are back under control even giving myself chocolate, cheese and butter in moderation.

When feel that you weigh to much or have a very sedentary life and feel de energised think about what you consume and begin exercising it wont take long (about a year for me) to have a real effect to your existence.
