We are seeing people into thier 30's now with heart attacksTHe average age of a heart attack is getting lower and lower. And the prevalence of diabetes 2 is crazy. It is treatable by changing the diet, and apparently most people can get off meds, or reduce significantly. But only if they make the changes. I did not want to wait until I had a heart attack to change my eating.
THe best part was that I slept much better with in a few days-- the insomia attacks stopped about 5 days into eating 30 carbs a day. I eat more than that but not to the level I used to and can still sleep well.
Yes, life can be short. Sad about the woman in a coma. Very sad. I wouldn't beleive that the one ice cream sundae was the cause, as these issues take 20-40 years to accumulate the effects. I too have noticed that weight is not always the key-- obesity is a dead giveaway, but even thin trim people can have issues. IT is revealed in the blood chemistries and lifestyle.The only information I have to use is personal experience. I worked in a Coronary Care Unit for a few years right after college. The vast majority of our patients were 50 and older, but we did have a few younger even then, including a 32 year old woman who just went down right after eating a Sundae at an ice cream place after church one day, came into Emergency speaking, and subsequently became comatose. They never figured out what happened to her despite repeated tests, she never recovered, and the last I heard she was in a long term care facility unable to speak, move, or communicate in any way. She did awaken but that is all. It was heartbreaking. She was a normal weight woman with no history of illness. We also had a man in his 40s die of a particularly challenging, and at the time barely heard of, arrhythmia, known as Torsades (sp?) Ventricular Tachycardia (VT) which reacted to the standard treatment for VT by getting worse.
The lesson I took from working there is that life is short, and we usually have no idea how short. Value your moments.
Eating low carb has been beneficial for many. I have tried to avoid them but I can't give up potatoes and toast weekends - Saturday and Sunday breakfast, I live for them
IT is a lovely first quilt!!! After finishing a few, you will see what fabrics and patterns apeal to you and develeop your own "painting" style. THe blue trim will be pretty and make the dark blue blocks ( say that 5x fast) pop!! Nice job.
Great job on both the apron and the quilt SCG! I can see you put alot of work into both!Put a fork in me, I'm done. In between tending to the stoves and the frozen waterers, I sewed all day. Got an apron complete and got the last blocks sewn for my quilt. I'm trying to figure out now how to put it together to look good.
