Glad your still with us. I like your attitude though. The hell with calling an ambulance. Grabs a cigar and car keys.. Thats the spirit. Now I need to decide on a special "Last" cigar.Thanks so much. They did not blame it on cigars at all. High blood pressure was the culprit. I smoked a cigar as I drove myself to the hospital "to relax".
I smoke 2 to 3 cigars a day and have worked around radon for 30 years. My lungs are clear as a bell. Just didn't know if smoking cigars raises your blood pressure or stimulates the heart.
Funny you should say that. It takes me forever to decide which cigar to smoke, now that it's "one a day".Glad your still with us. I like your attitude though. The hell with calling an ambulance. Grabs a cigar and car keys.. Thats the spirit. Now I need to decide on a special "Last" cigar.
So many things in life that can kill you, I'm pretty sure cigars will be the least of your worries. I hope so anyway.
Thanks so muchVery sorry to hear this, this is one of my worst fears........I don't think cigars would be the case, more like the food for me.
Glad you are ok though.
Read the keto thread. Some of the recommended health diets don’t achieve what they’re supposed to. Heart healthy and ada especially.Thanks so much
The wife is already sick of the heart healthy diet.
Thanks! This will be a big change, we normally eat out. I appreciate any advice. Worse thing is the medication I'm on makes me so hungry! I ate 1.5 pounds of fruit and veggies for lunch! I never eat that much.Read the keto thread. Some of the recommended health diets don’t achieve what they’re supposed to. Heart healthy and ada especially.
You can still eat great and just stay away from sugar (glucose) and possibly see a lot of benefits. Also need to make sure your mineral and micronutrient intake is sufficient and in balance.
Just a suggestion, not medical advice, do your own thorough research.
Fruit is bad for you mmmmkayThanks! This will be a big change, we normally eat out. I appreciate any advice. Worse thing is the medication I'm on makes me so hungry! I ate 1.5 pounds of fruit and veggies for lunch! I never eat that much.
Thanks again. I will check out that thread.
Thanks for the reply! I have high blood pressure and high cholesterol. I don't think the Keto diet is going to work for me. I don't add salt to anything, but its in everything! I rarely ate red meat and never eat fast food. Sugar for me isn't a big deal, I don't eat candy and junk, but its in everything!Most of this stuff you will get used to not having. I gave up added salt, sugar and simple carbs years ago. The only thing I miss is rice and pasta. Now days when we go out to eat everything tastes salty to me,
Fruit does have a lot of sugar but the key is to eat fruits with lots of fiber. The fiber slows the absorption of the sugars. Fresh apples and pears with the skins, oranges are all good for you, just make sure you enjoy the peel,/pith and stay away from fruit juices. Plain Greek yogurt with Splenda or fresh fruit is a good alternative to sweets.
