Ask for a bike not a Zoll M defibrillator

Having not been been in touch with the folks and siblings for about 10 years I became a bit worried when I talked to a relative of mine that I found on the web and he told me that my old mans brother had a triple bypass operation and his sister had a pace maker fitted.

The fact that both of them had heart attacks immediately put me on code red for any possible issues that might signify a possible heart condition. My first instinct wasn’t to instantly go out and purchase a Zoll M defibrillator just in case my chest went into fibrillation but it did shake me up a bit.

I had just put my sole trading company on the shelf for a while and had been grazing on food, which had put the pounds on, 14 stone at 6 foot for me isn’t a healthy weight. Call it psychosomatic but I started to be concerned about a ache that I was feeling in my chest.

Anyway a blood test at the doctors later informed me that my blood cholesterol were to high and the Doctor informed me I was on the borders of needing a prescription to bring my cholesterol level down because of my bloodlines history of heart conditions (though she said there was no proof that a parents brothers and sisters effected their children).

Wake up!!!! I instantly removed from my diet butter, cheese (love cheese!) and didn’t eat chocolate or anything that had a high cholesterol content. Started eating food that reduced cholesterol (stuff from the supermarket nothing professing magical properties just normal food) and began Mountain biking to the then newly started job (ten miles there and back off road, 14 miles by tarmac).

I bought a set of scales that originally recorded my fat levels being 25 or 26 which was way to high I have now reduced it 20-21 which is normal. I am now 12 and a half stone and once again my normal athletic self. There has been no need to return to the doctors and no longer feel the silly need to rent a Zoll M defibrillator just in case, because I am confident my cholesterol levels are back where they should be even giving myself chocolate, cheese and butter in moderation.

When feel that you are overweight or have a inactive life and feel de energised think about what you eat and begin exercising it wont take long (about a year for me) to have a real benefit to your existence.
