Heart attack

[Peter]

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 We're just a bit bingy.

 

 

No, I think Marks personal reputation is pretty much global now.

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.

 

My post was in relation to the OP, IE a "Relatively fit cyclist"

That's harsh Peter.

I drink my pints of wine much more slowly these days.

So you don't use your camelbac now.

Ime reminded of my father in law, the more fat on his pork the better he liked it, i used to watch him take great slabs of the stuff and crackling and fatty lamb.

His breakfasts would include large lumps of fat bacon and and the like,and i very seldom saw him eat veg, let alone fruit.

He died about 20 years ago and was well into his 90s.

As Dave said, genetics play a part.

[Peter]

Genetics, diet and lifestyle all factor in

 

If you want to know how much is genetics, use the qrisk calculator to work out your personal risk, and then change the family history part and see how much the risk changes. It's probably less important than you think.
