it dosnt have to be your eating or choice of food to get heart trouble, a year ago, I went to the emergency room after getting up in the morning and having to stop to catch my breath on the way to the bathroom. scared me into the emergency room. I had been getting weaker for a few years and just thought it was old age. they tole me it is congestive heart failure, and put me on diuretics and oxygen. after a couple of days, as they were wheeling me into an operating room and telling me I would probably have stents or a bypass. after a heart catheterization, I woke up with no stents or bypasse. it turned out to be a virus I had a few years ago, no way to know what virus, or when. I found later that my heart was at 20% when I left the hospital and 6 months later it was up to 35%. no cholesterol or other blockages at all. ts been a year now, and I dont know if I am getting better yet.
