Today is your day Boomer! You'll likely remember my "heart" situation....I am about 3 months removed from heart valve surgery and am in the midst of an eight week cardio physiotherapy program. You go three times a week, and working with on-location health specialists, we treadmill for 30 minutes and then do a weight-lifting, stretching circuit for 45 minutes. It is great and I see tremendous improvement in my rehab....but the one thing I will mention is that it is dominated by grey-haired men...like me. Yup, Boomer men make-up well over 80% of the candidates. So, I did some research and this is what the Government of Canada states: "men are 2 times more likely to suffer a heart attack than women, and men are newly diagnosed with heart disease about 10 years younger than women (55–64 vs 65–74 years of age)". I see those numbers in person every week....and it should be a wakeup call to Boomer males! And here is what you can do to stay "heart healthy":
be smoke-free...stay physically active...eat a healthy diet...maintain a healthy weight and limit alcohol use. Words of wisdom. Cheers.
