AWESOME for your Dad! (and you indirectly) ![]()
POOR diet is the #1 main culprit for arterial plaque which narrow the arteries surrounding the heart, leading to heart attack. I encourage everyone to Google and do some reading on "plaque" and "LDL Cholesterol" then check various links to learn what foods are a huge menace creating the problem! Could save your life...
I microwave a bowl of steel cut oatmeal every day now and it's not bad with some berries or chopped banana added on top. It doesn't cleanse the arteries (NOTHING DOES!) but it helps significantly - more than almost any other common food - to cleanse the blood from adding more LDL into those already damaged arteries, as long as I am also avoiding the crap foods. Sugar/syrups, sweet junk foods, white flour, processed meats and tasty cereals are now all down in my trash bin where they belong...
Also, regular daily exercise (walking at brisk pace or light jog or cycling) helps SIGNIFICANTLY to raise "HDL" levels - think Helpful cholesterol - which actually LOWERS the LDL circulating in your blood! ![]()
I show Miami with a small edge of about +0.6 runs but that's not enough to justify the odds so I pass.
