Health is Wealth

Heart Attacks and Strokes can be Prevented

Health is Wealth.  That is why I have this blog  about biking.  I work very hard to stay healthy.

And I often say, what good is your accumulated assets if you are not healthy to enjoy it.

 On the other hand, health care is a big business.  (It is about P200 billion industry in the PHL)

The number one cause of death is cardio vascular disease.  I recently saw a free video by Dr. Chaucey Crandall, who himself had a heart attack on how to prevent heart attack.  It is surprisinsg in the study of Crandall, there are societies and countries which do not have this problem.  Dr. Crandall heads a Cardiac Center in Florida and has helped  quite a number of cardiac patients on all aspects:   prevention, crisis intervention, diagnosis, treatment,  etc.



The two major causes of cardio vascular and degenerative diseases  in the US are:

l.  High fat and sugar diet

2.  Inflammation.

The cause of heart disease and degenerative diseases are the same.

This is how you can lessen heart attacks/stroke:

l.  Exercise

2.  Stop smoking

3.  Lessen fat and sugar intake. Have a healthy diet.

4.  Have your good and bad cholesterol measured.  Be watchful if you have pattern B for bad cholesterol

5. Have a PLAC test.



Heart bypass is the last resort.  Stent and angioplasty are less tramautic

I Tried to Bike today But I had to turn Back Because of too much Pollution

Bike and Save the Earth

I could bike but I would hardly save the earth today, let alone my health.  Visibility was poor, and it was difficult to breathe.  After dropping by the church in Tayuman, I decided to call it  a day.  I could not afford to fill up my lungs with more pollutants (pulutan yes for my stomach)

Maybe the warmer air will lift up the smoke and gentle wind will waft the same to China sea.

        My SARS bike on top of a hill, ole hi hi (to the tune of Lonely goatherd)

                          The sun rises over a very smoky planet

         This may be Syria, or Somalia or Afghanistan after a fierce battle

                    The sun and townscape are hardly visible

       

                    Even the forests were not spared by the firecracker smoke

                         Nice view but the background is smog filled

          The streets are deserted after last midnight revelry;  smog everywhere

    We Could Hardly See the l00 meters away at 7 am.?!

        Street Littered with Firecracker Wrappers

N.B.:   blogging may be one reason why there is less demand for photo journalists, journalists, or newspaper reporters.   Many iphone users too, you tube, mms are being used by every one to report what is happening

P.S.    This morning I felt itchy all over.  It must be pollutants from the firecracker smoke that settled on my skin.
