blockage

last night I got a call from a good friend, his dad was being rushed to the hospital with chest pains. The classic signs of chest and arm pain and a general fatigue, history of family heart problems and high cholestoral. At 62 the nurse was amazed, she said you look so healthy...he is in excellent shape...but you can't out run heredity. Quietly while he exercised and ate right his body produced more bad cholestoral than good and every time a vein would scare from stress the cholestoral would do it job and go in and smooth out the vein until....boom... a heart attack. Sometimes you can do everything right and still not avoid your genes.
