Thanks De. I am going to try to reduce my weight. I am a little over weight according to doctor's weight charts for average build males. I was born with a large skeletal frame, and an athletic build. So I weigh more because I am "denser" and in a large boned skeleton.
That being said, I still need to shed some excess flab.. o excuses here. At 180 pounds I am very average looking and actually somewhat thin... At 200 pounds I am pretty average looking without a gut. Always been like this and would like to get back to being close to my younger build.
So I need to lose some weight and am on a mission to do just that.. I appreciate your encouragement..
My father's father was 93 years old. My father was 91.
If his heart was not as bad as it was he would have lived longer. His pace maker finally stopped and he was not strong enough to have it replaced. There is nothing wrong with my heart other than I clogged a few arteries from over indulgence and lack of self control.
I will modify my eating and food choices and so I do not clog up my heart arteries with PLAQUE again plus I am on a statin daily to keep them cleaned..
One tidbit. I DID have a mild heart attack a few weeks prior to my going to see my Primary care and did not recognize it as such. The cardiologist recognized it right away and kinda chewed on me about not being more attentive. He was glad I went to see my doc.
Last tidbit. He also scared the crap out of me because he said I should have died on the operating table from the hip replacement last January. My heart was not in good enough shape to endure that so he does not know why I survived the hip replacement. I simply told him it was not myappointed time. so I am fortunate to be here walking in this world today..
Appreciate your input very much!
