Ten Commandments for a Healthy Heart

1. Know your risk factors for heart disease.

2. Talk to your doctor about reducing your risk of heart disease.

3. Have your blood pressure checked regularly.

4. Know your cholesterol numbers.

5. Have your blood sugar level checked for diabetes.

6. Do NOT smoke cigarettes or use other tobacco products.

In September of 2008 by daughter, age 37, and I, age 61, were diagonosed with a heart disease, Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy is a significant cause of sudden unexpected death in any age group. I lost my two brothers from this same disease, one at age 20 and the other at age 42. Let me urge you to see your doctor if you have the any signs of heart problems. It could save you life as it did mine.

Motivation is a fire from within. If someone else tries to light that fire under you, chances are it will burn very briefly.

GARDEN WHIMSY ALL-OCCASION CARD

"Commitment"

Success seems to be largely a matter of hanging on after others have let go.
