Prevention is always better than cure…
The modern human being is essentially a hunter gatherer…
a. Have a good diet, making sure the system gets at least five servings of fruits/ vegetables.
b. Drink at least 2 liters of water.
c. Exercise regularly…at least 30 mins. of aerobics of one’s choice…
d. Keep weight within the recommended medical limits…
e. Avoid smoking, chewing tobacco or shisha… :blink: (sorry about that)
f. Keep stress levels under control…by regularly going out with meoff….(are you listening Mohammed?)There are certain factors beyond one’s control, like genetics & then some individuals predisposition to excitability, but at least we can contribute our part to let this wonderful gift from God be kept in good running order… :dance:
Then there are still some unfathomable s like Ali’s heart attack… :unsure:
