Super thankful for this past Thanksgiving!
I was able to spend it with both sets of parents (my parents and my in laws), as well as my family.
It was so special!
Special because this past May, my father spend over a month in ICU due to a massive heart attack.
Special because his doctors certainty did not think he would survive.
Special because his heart function was 10%.
Special because 3 months later it is normal!
Special because his docs say it’s a ‘miracle’!
GOD is good and faithful!!
He gave my Father another chance !
My passion is to PREVENT anyone from having a heart attack!!
No one, no family member should suffer though any trace of what my father went through!
4 Ways to prevent heart attack
- Eat healthy – keep your blood sugars normal. Cut out junk! Eat God made foods
- Get checked for sleep apnea – it triples your risk for Cancer, Heart attack, and stroke, let alone dementia.
- ASK your doc for a Calcium Score screen of your heart! It’s a CT that determines plaque build up.
It’s not always about cholesterol. People can still have heart attacks and have ‘normal’ cholesterol levels and numbers.
It’s all about IF you are a plaque builder or not.
If you build plaque – that’s the risk!!
Some people with high cholesterol do not build plaque.
4. EXERCISE!! Get active!!
At least 10-20 minutes daily – to get that circulation going works wonders for longevity and heart health.
JUST TAKE ONE SMALL STEP , ONE THING EACH DAY FOR YOUR HEALTH.
Life is too precious!!
PREVENTION IS KEY!!
