I had a heart attack at 72 but amazing advances in heart surgery saved my life. At 76 I am so grateful and try to look after myself for the sake of my own family. I wish I had your discipline though Ilona.Patricia32https://www.blogger.com/profile/10524941498179699767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-88649450955798176322014-03-05T08:30:21.290+00:002014-03-05T08:30:21.290+00:00Well done to your dad for turning his life around....Well done to your dad for turning his life around.

Both your comments are showing as published when I've looked - the first is on my post of 23rd February, and your second on my post of 28th February. I replied to both of them and can see the replies too. I'm not sure why you can't see them. Maybe somebody else would be kind enough to look and see if they can see them or not?Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-67930078843613835662014-03-04T20:27:25.409+00:002014-03-04T20:27:25.409+00:00You seem to have 80% veg on your plate at every me...You seem to have 80% veg on your plate at every meal and from what I remember from last Summer, you'll be back up clocking the miles on your walks now its Spring.

I was 49 last week, and I'm determined to live long enough to claim my state pension - just another 18 years to go then! I now follow a plant-based diet, exercise regularly and lead as stress-free a life as I can. I'm giving myself the best chance I can, as is my hubby( his Dad had a massive stroke at 60 and died at 61). He will be 52 tomorrow, runs 10k several times a week, plays 5 a side football, has a physical job and cycles to work and back. <br />With a family history of heart disease your GP should be willing to arrange a cholesterol test for you.<br />Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01729719876504930455noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3556657999892839298.post-61924363091347128632014-03-04T19:09:51.393+00:002014-03-04T19:09:51.393+00:00Totally with your re your mum, the same happened t...Totally with your re your mum, the same happened to mine and it would have been her birthday yesterday.

My dad was only in his 50's when he had his first heart attack, it's very frightening and not something I will forget. He's 73 now and actually reasonably healthy in the heart department. It was such a shock that he gave up smoking, and started to look after himself, took up gardening, healthy diet. He also began to enjoy life more, he gave up work early and became an easier person to live with. Its amazing how the body can heal itself with a change of lifestyle. Love the bag with the pin tuck detail, I'm so busy at the moment but will teach myself to make them one day.
