Inflammation up. Took Lasix and Potassium. I am the picture of health despite my thyroid issues, but I went to the cardiogist. I knew the Ultrasound would show a beautiful heart. No issues. I am nearly 65 and for 20 years I have eaten predominately healthy. I don't eat red meat or pork. I do eat bacon once a week and I will eat a Reuben once or twice a year. I was shocked that my CT showed hardening of the arteries or atheroschlerosis. My cholestorol is not high. It's really pretty perfect for my age and I am not able to exercise like everyone else can. It's hereditary and in spite of me wanting to never have the things I thought I could prevent, here I am. I will be taking a statin to prevent a heart attack and have to have further testing. The also found two nodules in my lungs, but I am certain they are benign. My body grows things. I am hoping the statins help the inflammation and hope to eventually get off that and Lasix. If I could swim daily, I wouldn't have an ounce of fat on me at all. That's my goal. No public pools here. Getting old is not for sissies, but I say I am still reverse aging in every way I can. I keep my mind sharp. I exercise my mind and body. I eat the amount of calories the doctor told me and often eat about 1000. It is not easy to lose weight, but I do my yoga/stretching/meditation and Cherokee prayer cerermony where I dance and pray. It's cardio. I can't do normal things due to my physical limitations, but I still find a way to do them. I even do arm exercises and my arms are showing it. I hear a lot of people say oh it hurts too badly to exercise. I am proof that you can do screaming yoga and moaning stretcing. Move it or loose. I went from an elecric wheelchair to a manual and a walker. I use nothing at home,but I hve terrible balance issues in spite of my good core I have built. I use my walker in most places that are one level and I push myself to do more. Go farther. I am not afraid to die, but I have a ton of work to do before then. I am blessed the doctors found this now. They missed my Mom's until she was in her 70's and she had open heart surgery and a heart attack. Ladies, use a female doctor whenever possible. They know that heart disease is a silent killer. Self-love is so important. Heal your mind and body. It is possible. Have a beautiful day!
