Dying Young
46My Brother
My brother at the age of 43 died of a heart attack. Then five years later at the age of 66 my father died of a heart attack. We as people always think that these things can not happen to us or the people we care about.
After my brother died his sisters and brothers went to have test done for their hearts. We did this because he died at such a young age. It seems that the bad hearts run in the males in the family that is what we found out. All the males have problems that they have to watch out for. The females hearts are all fine.
The wake up call is losing someone in my case two someones you love to take care of yourself. How do we do this? We do this by getting enough exercise, eating right and taking care of ourselves. We know that our loves ones will have to carry on without us if we do not.

I couldn't agree with you more about diet and excercise. I have had plenty of family members who died of heart attacks and all male. Cancer is also high on the female side, so we get a double whammy , thanks for telling us.:0
