Even a little bit of plaque significantly increases the risk of heart attack and death – here’s some motivation for improving your diet now!
And, in case you are wondering, there is no such thing as exercising too much; the risk is in staying sedentary.
Dr. Pam ROCKS! She is the real deal, I can wholeheartedly trust the
information she shares. She genuinely cares about the welfare of the health
of every person individually. Grateful to have such an amazing resource.
What the?? You’re a senior citizen? I thought you were on your 40’s easily.
Wow.
You are my new best friend!! (lol)
Plant based magic. Take a look at Mimi Kirk. She’s in her 70’s but you
wouldn’t know by looking at her 🙂
How does dietary change unblock the arteries again? How does it reverse the
blockage?
The complete explanation cannot be condensed into a format like this; the
short version is that when on adopts a Wellness Forum style diet, the
deposition of plaque stops, the existing volatile plaques flatten and the
caps become stable reducing the risk of rupture, and the endothelial cells
lining the blood vessels begun returning to normal and producing nitric
oxide. For more detail about this and other issues, you may want to
consider taking some of our classes!
Totally agree with the need to exercise but there is a major researcher out
there who discusses extensively that modest exercise offers more health
benefits than “marathon” type programs. More is always better? Anyway. I’ll
post that if I can relocated it.
At this point one can find a study to support almost anything, and people
tend to look for studies that give them “permission” to do many things –
like exercise less, drink wine moderately, and remain overweight. But more
exercise is better, just as more dietary compliance is better.
Got it. I changed my mind about this recently, so maybe you’ll influence me
to change back from the idea that there’s an optimal amount of exercise
(it’s very hard and rare to do too much). Just need to relocate the report
I saw recently.
Bought a treadmill a few weeks ago as I seem to watch a lot of TV. So I put
the treadmill in front of the TV. Just use it for walking, but at least I
am moving more than I used to 🙂
I never thought I would say this but I really miss it if my husband and I
can’t get to our gym three times per week. We’ve been going 4 years now
(since we both retired) and we’ve met some really terrific people, kept our
weight down and are both very active. And it’s not a fancy, expensive
gym…Planet Fitness…only costs us $10 each a month. So no excuses…try
it and you’ll find you actually like it! Thanks for “nagging” us, Dr.
Popper :-)
my dad was a hard core athlete his whole life: running, cycling, hiking. He
was is AWESOME shape. He went on a hike one day, fell down and died.
Autopsy report said he died of “sudden cardiac death”. His heart was
enlarged- the heart is a muscle and all the exercise made this muscle
bigger. I really believe he exercised himself to death. The ironic thing,
was the same thing happened to my dad’s HEART DOCTOR! The doctor went out
for a jog one day with his daughter, and died of sudden cardiac death!
