Health Buzz: Obesity Not Always Tied to Heart Risk

My plaque is reversing less than a year after my quadruple bypass surgery.
I have outlined some of the pitfalls of filling our guts with guts; how the sun will shine brighter and the water will taste better if we eat lots of plants. I have not shared results.
I am due for my next checkup at the Cardiologist in the next month. This is from my last visit in November. Here are my results.

Anyone can pick apart how long humans have been eating meat or how or brains would be the size of peas without animal protein. There are thousands of studies and experts that will refute any effort that promotes focusing your diet on grains, vegetables & fruits.
I take 10mg of Crestor a day. Maybe that is the cause of the Plaque reversal? Maybe it is the baby aspirin? Maybe it is the 30 mile run I ran on Sunday? Maybe its the aluminium foil hat I made myself to avoid cosmic radiation…
I say: try it. Try eating nothing but Plants & Grains for a week. Two weeks. One month. Don’t tell anyone, do it for yourself.
There is no downside… only upside.

I'm not sure what this study accomplishes. Having your internal organs squished by intraabdominal fat needs to become a health issue rather than an image issue. Less than 1% of the population can use a biological excuse for obesity...behavioral change with effective and inexpensive nutrition and at least minimal activity like walking are simple. The challenge is...it is more than an educational issue...it's psychological and a question of self-compassion and care...and perhaps a willingness to unlearn what your parents may have taught you with regard to eating and how they viewed your "image." TMI...

And high fructose corn syrup is no different than cane sugar. People can believe what they want, it isn't healthy being so overweight you can't take more than a few steps before stopping for breath.

health info seems to change with the direction of the wind.
as somebody who is over wieght and older i'm certainly glad i'm not gonna drop dead from being over weight.
i do try to exercise, though; mostly bicycling; gray haired old geezer on a 88 dollar walmart bike.
