X-Message-Number: 10820 Date: Fri, 20 Nov 1998 19:51:55 -0500 From: Jan Coetzee <> Subject: cholesterol and exercise References: <> I spend most of my life avoiding fats and cholesterol. I also exercised regularly. It did not help. My cardiologist told me every one over 45 is at risk. All you can hope is that you have the correct genes. I suppose without the diet and exercise I may have died years ago. The bottom line is pick your ancestors carefully and hope the ER doctor knows what a heart attack looks like. In my case he did not but fortunately the nurse did and insisted on a nitro and heparin drip. Without this nurse I would have been dead. Thus luck is also important.
