The most important thing we can do for ourselves is to understand the importance of a healthy lifestyle. Vitamins and minerals are essential for our health, regardless of our age. Most of our essential vitamins are available to us in the foods we eat. Proper diet, a well balanced meal, fruits and vegetables are nothing to take lightly. You see, I always thought I was doing the right thing. My diet was proper, I was active with sports and raising two kids. Then one afternoon it happened. And it happened fast and hard. The pain came quick, and the pain came hard. I was rushed to the emergency room, and other than remembering the ride there, grasping for comfort was a waist of time, because I never found it, I never remember entering the hospital. The one thing I do remember is when the doctor looked over me and said, “Peter, you are having a heart attack, but you are in the right place”
Wow, at the young age of 48, I had suffered a massive heart attack. The kind the Doctor’s said are fatal to most people my age. In the prime of my life, with 2 young children and everything to live for. I was now in the hands of a medical team, and I was praying that they could save my life.
Well, as you read this, the good news is I survived the scare of my life and am now able to share my experience. What I went through is nothing I would want any one to experience. So the lesson is back to diet or exercise? Vitamins or supplements? And the answer is all of the above. Do your self a huge favor and educate yourself about proper foods to eat and the nutritional value they have. Fruits, vegetables, poultry and fish all have tremendous value to our bodies. Educate yourself about the vitamins, minerals and supplements that help our bodies survive our everyday life styles.
I have taken the time to educate myself on the value vitamins and have and you should to. Look around you, you have so much to live for.
