Genetics

 

100% Correct. Diet and exercise have little baring on when your number comes up on the genetic roulette wheel.

Speaking as a recent heart attack sufferer (Jan 2015) you are right and wrong, there are those who are genetically pre disposed to coronary conditions however diet and life style play a significant role.

 

There is history of heart condition in my immediate family but there is also little doubt that diet and lifestyle played a major role in my condition

 

My heart attack was caused by a blockage in the blood supply to part of the heart wall, this is directly linked to it getting bunged up by fat deposits and that's down to me, my problems are self inflicted.

 

The heart attack was relatively minor, more significantly the subsequent stroke nearly killed me.

 

Take care of what you have, it can be gone before you know it.

Hi all

 

This evening I learnt of someone who had suffered a minor heart attack despite being a fairly fit cyclist. After a visit to his GP for dietry advice, who said:

 

Less fatty meat, more fish /seafood

more fruit & vegatables

no smoking - but he diddnt anyway

and two or three glasses of good red wine every day

 

 

N

 

 

The thing is , where do you get the iron from.

Merci mon ami.

Bon nuit.

We have two new French neighbours in their thirties, both doctors of geology.

Drinking wine with them is certainly an education. I felt like a heathen.(probably because I am)

 

Firstly they surprisingly are not at all snobby about their wines which they know very well. I would expect them to have bottles of fine French wine only around the house but no they have Greek and English wines as well, just for their interest and give praise where praise is due.

 

But more importantly and the reason I am putting this on this particular thread, is the way they drink their wine.

Very, very slowly and one glass will last as long as it takes my wife and I to polish off a bottle. This way not only do they give themselves a chance to really taste the wine, (they spend ages smelling it before they drink it!) but they give their system a chance to absorb it gently and just drift into an elated mood rather than becoming incoherent and boring like me after one too many!

They usually cut up a carrot with a yoghurt dip which has a spoonful of mustard in it, and some cheese cut into small pieces.

Just feels very healthy.

This drinking etiquette is why we have a reputation around the world.

 

I'm not saying your good lady and yourself, but Britain's as a whole :blushing: We're just a bit bingy.

I learnt my lesson in 2003 when my wife and I went to the village chasse lunch. I got wired in to anything red, white or rosé that was put in front of me. My wife, who is Jockenese, not a race usually associated with temperance, advised me to drink like the French lads, ie sip it and don't fill your glass up in the Brit style and secondly drink lots of water. To which I replied to Jolly Jock "I am an Englishman and don't drink water whilst on the sauce."

After 9 courses of grub and wine to go with it I was feeling tired and don't really remember a lot afterwards, but apparently I invited my new pals back home to continue. Next morning I was greeted with sympathetic looks and much shaking of heads. Lesson learnt about drinking water. I hunted with a pack of Harriers for 6 years and found that unlike the UK we kicked off with a breakfast, wine, cognac and maybe an eau de vie with the coffee. My life has been very hard since 2003.
