HEART AND STROKE MONTH

CBC radio have an hour "call in" program each day just after lunch. Yesterday it was all about preventing heart attacks and strokes. The doctor gave a web site that gives some basic information. It was interesting to hear the doctor say that one of the most important items to consider is NO SMOKING, and if you do - get serious about quitting the habit as soon possible. He added that in about two years it is possible that the system can rebound from the smoking habit and recover from the damage done to lungs and arteries, especially when fresh nourishing foods are eaten and regular exercise taken. High blood pressure increases the possibility of strokes.
