My Mom and Dad always ate pretty healthy after my Dad was diagnosed with high blood pressure. Even with all that, he's had all kinds of heart problems.
Last time we saw my parents, my wife and I noticed that Mom and Dad were eating lots of red meat, stuff like that. Didn't think anything of it.
Now my Mom is lying in a "care facility" with a stroke. Not a good way to finish out the week.
Now, I'm not saying that their change in dietary habits brought this on-- they didn't. But I *am* saying that you want to stay healthy as long as possible. The minute you start that slippery slope, you head downhill *fast*.
Take care of yourself. You'll live longer, and happier.
Myself, I gotta start working out. Whooo.
