Easting Smart ^ Healthy - Part II

 

Yes, it is true that I change my eating habits at age 40, but those changes did not prevent me from having a triple bypass level heart attack, that was corrected with 5 stints as opposed to open heart surgery and recovery.

So, twenty years (age 60) after I stopped smoking and stopped eating red meat and began exercising, I had this profound heart attack while walk on the treadmill.  However, the Cardiologist said that if I had not been so damn healthy, that heart attack would have killed me right then and there.  My body created its own bypass with the creation of dozens of extra arteries that would not have been done, if I were unhealthy.

Also, at the age of 60, I contracted cancer, and three years later and due to the type of treatment I had been given, I contracted a second cancer.  My good health did not stop that from happening, but my good health did keep the cancers from killing me.  My healthy body kept the TOXIC TREATMENTS from damaging my body to the point that I never contracted any other serious disease so far (17 years later).

I also discovered that all my exercising and strength training, caused my spine to deteriorate to the point that three years ago, I had surgery to FUSE L2-L3-L4-L5-S1 disks together.  That sort of pissed me off when I found out that exercising did that, but the orthopedic surgeon said had I not done the exercising my back problems would have been much worse.

So, the lessons from all of this is that YES, you should maintain a healthy body both by what you eat and how you exercise but it may not prevent bad things from happening however your healthy body may keep you from finding yourself prematurely DEAD!!!
