It worked for me. My health was failing, in and out of the hospital. I ended up too weak to do much and had been a doer all my life. I gradually regained some strength but not much. I had only a little fight left in me and my main health issue is COPD, no cure. Looking back I realize I was also seriously depressed. Depression was something I didn’t even consider then, I have always been an optimist.

I woke up one morning and decided to fight, changed my diet drastically and began walking. As I could do more I have done more and more.

I have not been in the hospital since November and am getting stronger, feel better than I have in years. My pulmonologist is amazed and been taking me off of one medication and another.

I have a great doctor, but if I had been unwilling to change my lifestyle I am pretty sure I would not still be here.

Great story. So true. Walking is a miracle drug. I don't even plan my walks; I just start walking hither and yon.

Congratulations on your success!
